My car felt the same exact way, until I put the blue LocTite on the car! I felt like the car was gonna break in half at any minute when driving on some rough roads. It's fixed now! YEAH!

I have the BMR adjustable panhard bar, and all I have to do is lie down next to the back tires and adjust it with a wrench. Simple as can be.

+1 Adjust the panhard bar at ride height.

When I changed the Lower Control Arms I nailed a couple of 2 x 4's together. Lifted the car an extra 4 inches. There was just enough room to work. Easy access to the panhard also.
