..> install an adjustable panhard rod in order to find the right length...?
I got one from Lakewood and I'll probably be installing it this weekend together with lowering springs etc.
I would really appreciate some inputs on how to make it right without too much trouble.

Thanks a whole lot!

Basically you just adjust it to where the rear end is centered under the car when the car is sitting on the ground at normal ride height. Pretty straightforward.

so are you saying that you estimate the position with the rear off the ground, adjust it,and then lower it to see how it sits? is thier an easier way to adjust the bar while the rear is up? I'm basically wondering that if the rear is centered off the ground, and then lowered to the ground for normal ride height, is there going to be a diffrence in the horizontal position of the rear? I would think there would be because of the diagonal bar, any info would help, I'm planning on the mod in the near future. THanks

 

Can you adjust it without removing it from the mounts? If so, adjust it with the weight on the car. Also, you should even be able to remove it and make adjustments with the weight on the car anyway. A while back some guy drove up in an 85 camaro with the panhard bar broke in two. Dangerous to drive(swayed a bit in the corners). The weight of the car doesn't rest on the panhard bar.

I was assuming that they are adjustable only off the mounts, or at least one end of the bar off the mount, at least they look like there threaded that way.

 

Mine has to be lose on one end to adjust it.
So, basically, I have to just install it, then put the weight on the car, adjust, then measure to check the distance from the fender to the tires - and repeat until both sides are equal...?

http://www.bmrfabrication.com/bmr/instructions.htm Scroll down till you see the words "ADJUSTABLE PANHARD ROD". That should do ya!

 

Thanks scott!

 

de nada. Make sure you grease em up pretty good so they dont squeak. I have BMR Panhard and LCA's, but they are not greased good enough, so they squeak sometime. I'll get around to it someday!

 

The pan hard rods are easy to adjust...raise the rear end support on jack stands move it around until the tires look pretty even between the fenders...
