Adjusting Panhards

[Footwork]

I’m sure there are threads here on ways to measure and how to adjust panhards, but I am lost. I know their out-of-spec by the way it drives and did a crude measurement with a broomstick and can tell the tires front and back are toed. Its lift is probably 4 inches and it’s something I’ve been wanting to do and have been putting off. I have some OME adjustables on the way and was hoping to get some clarity from a group I trust. YouTube ain’t doing it for me.

With a 4" lift you'll want the @Delta VS Rear Panhard relocation bracket as well.

You want the axle centered under the vehicle at normal ride height- use the adjustment to achieve that. Its pretty much an adjust until you get it procedure. I usually get it close-ish, drive the vehicle around the block for the suspension to settle, measure the distance from a known point on the body to the sidewall of the tire on each side, and then adjust the bar to move the axle left or right to get it centered. Rinse and repeat until it's right. You may need to employ some ratchet straps or other dirty tricks to move things around. Having an assistant move the steering wheel in the front goes a long way to helping you get that bolt back in place after you adjust the front panhard bar. The rear is always less fun.
