My car is lowered about 1 1/2" all around and I have an adjustable panhard bar. After I lowered my car, about 1 month ago, I used the string method to adjust the rear through the panhard bar and got the body even with the axle.
Yesterday I went to get an alignment and have some camber bolts installed and the tech told me that the rear toe was off. I believe the left was +.25 and the right -.25 (or something similar to that). He recommended me to adjust the panhard bar to get it back into range, which he did. It now is close to 0 on both, but now the body is shifted to the right. It's pretty noticeable, at least to me.
Is this normal? Should I leave it like this?

Thanks

How could your toe be off on a rear solid axle? Never heard of that and that doesn't make sense, someone doesn't know what they're talking about (it may be me).

I have no idea. This is my first car with a solid rear.
After the tech brought the fronts into spec, he pulled me to the bay and showed me the toe on the machine.

That doesn't make sense when I had my alignment checked they don't even bother looking at the rear since its a solid axle. Also a pan hard bar just controls the side to side movement of the axle if toe existed on a rear axle the pan hard bar would have nothing to do with it.

Yea, it didn't make much sense to me either.
The alignment was done on a hunter alignment rack. When he pulled me to the back, I could see on the screen how the toe on the left was ~+.25 and right~-.25. As he adjusted the panhard bar, the toe went into spec.
I thought it was strange, so that's why I posted about it on here.
Should I just re adjust the phb to center or leave it?

The panhard bar centers the rear axle for optimal traction. Adjust it and never go back to wherever you had that alignment done.

If you could provide a picture, it would give us a better understanding and we could provide a better explanation.

Of the rear of the car or the alignment sheet that was given to me?

Of the rear of your car as it sits prior to adjusting the PHB.

Just sounds like people that don't know what they are talking about at a shop lol.
