How to Adjust LCA and Panhard
I bought a single adjustable PHB and LCA with the rod ends to go on ford 9in, neither came with direction nor have any posted on the website. I have done research on the boards, but the info is not specific enough.
On PHB, it cant not be adjusted on car. So from what I understand after I make the measurements, I have to have someone push the body over to allign the bolt holes? is this correct?
On LCA, it cant not be adjusted on car either. How do I measure for the adjustment, as well as move the rearend front/back to make the allignment?
On a seperate subject, I was installing a new sway and noticed that the drivers side end link was completely blent. Why would this happen, secound is there an adjustment I need to make to prevent this from happening again?
Please use alot of detail if possible.
Thanks Guys

Re: How to Adjust LCA and Panhard
I recently replaced my lower control arms to the adjustable ones also. I used my stock lower control arm as a template on a piece of wood and drilled out the two holes. used the bolts to hold one end in the wood and adjusted the other till I could get the second one perfectly lined up. Used the same pattern on both control arms and also put a longer bolt thru both control arms together just to double check that my drill didnt wander. Thats a easy starting point to go with.
The panhard bar I just used a longer bolt and adjusted it till it was the same length as stock and put it on. Then I taped a string with a washer on both sides of the wheel well and took the measurement from side to side. Adjust it till your centered and lock it down.
