As said, it's pretty much just trial and error until you get them where you need them. Every car will be slightly/vastly different depending on suspension components, wear & tear, wheel offsets, etc, etc..

right right i see

ok so just to confirm

if i want to move the driver-side rear more onto the passenger-side do i take the panhard rod off from the driver-side to adjust ?? & do i lengthen it or shorten it ?

atmo i can have a 2 finger gap on the passenger side rear arch & the driver-side cant get hardly oe finger thru

need this sorted by the week end

cheers

one end is reverse thread so you should need to take it off the car, spray some gunk get some heat in it loosen it all up and turn the complete centre section to adjust.

maybe im remembering adjusting mine as being easier than it was, it was up on a lift at the time.

Cannot for the life of me remember for sure but I think you lengthen the bar to push the DSR rim out of the arch.

Lengthen to push it towards the passenger side
Shorten to pull it towards the drivers side

Easy to do as well. Roughly measure the diffirence between both sides, for numbers sake its 10mm
Divide this by 2 which gives 5mm (10/2=5) Remember you need to split the diffirence so it sits in the middle.
This is how much to need to adjust your rod by.

Simples.
