Default panhard bar install?

hey guys:
this may be a simpler task than i think, but considering my lack of experience, i'm asking anyway - does anyone know of a diy for a panhard bar install? i've got lca's, eibach springs and a phb that are itchin' to be installed this weekend, and the only one i don't have a how-to for is the phb.
thanks!

Its really easy.... Take off left bolt. Take off right bolt. Loosen (maybe) the bolt above the right bolt that holds the panhard bar in place.

Take the bar out, put the new one up, make sure car is on ground, and put bolts in and tighten.

I notice that its best to replace the panhard brace as much as the main bar due to its crappy strength.

Id replace the brace too. Its such a piece of junk that if you stiffen up the main bar it will just cause the cheap brace to suck even more and you probably won't get the full benefit of the replaced panhard bar.

Make sure you orient the PHR in a way that the ends may be greased......if possible. I think mine is in backward, but you can't tell which way it should go in.
