Yes, your panhard bar needs adjustment.

Yes you will need a adjustable pan hard bar. The install is not too hard and the adjustment is pretty easy as well.

It's an easier install than most think. And adjusting the bar is very easy, just don't torque anything until you get it centered. Rubber coated gloves make rotating the bar a breeze. Use lots of red loctite. The passenger side nut is hard to reach and it may be easier to tighten off the car after you center it up.

I used ramps to keep the suspension loaded. I would recommend an alignment afterwards.

Put a heavy bolt on string. Tape string to center of fender then measure distance from top lip of rim to string.

This...and you'll get it closer than any dealer or any alignment shop since you'll be taking your time. It doesn't have to be perfect but you can get it within a 16th of an inch. Alignment shop can align the front to matchup with the back.
