What does a panhard rod do?

 

Centers the rear and controls the side to side movement of it.

if you look from the rear of the car it has this shape right? < Is there any way to move the top half down a bit? I see there is a kit to do it, but it's 200 bucks.

 

There's a kit to do it but it's about $200.

 

if you intend on ever lowering your car,you must get the adjustable version cuz your rear end will shift over badly,and an adjustable one will let you correct it

 

i Just noticed mine as a little bend at tne bottom would that make my rear sit 2 one side a little and body sit higher on one side.Also what steps do i take 2 level it when i put a new one in

 

put a jack under ur rear end(of ur car that is)replace the panhard bar.measure the distance to the tires to the fender egde.turn the panhard bar til they are even on both sides.

 

can you explain this a little more into detail, im lowering my car soon and i have an adjustable one i want to make sure i have it set right

 

continued fron previous post.ok,you wanna jack the car up by the rear end to hold up the cars weight evenly as if the wheels were on the ground.once u determind how off your rearend is u simply twist the bar,it will slide the rear over,keep doing so till ur al even n squared up.tighten up all ur bolts n nuts n have fun,dont forget to alight ur frontend so ur tires dont get chewed up

 

just to keep you guys updated, i lowered my car this weekend, now im just not sure if my panhard rod is aligned...i measured it and it looks to be evened , but something tells me the passenger side is to far over....i was on the turnpike earlier and when i was making tight right turns my tires would screech...but not when i make a tight left...could it be that i need to shorten the bar so the passenger side comes in more? btw i didnt get an aligment done
