Default Panhard Problem?? ASAP!!

Hey guys I recently had my car lowered with the HR Super sport springs and Tociko D's I have the 18x10 Bullitts in the rear and I was spraying off my car this morning and realized my driver side tire was sticking waaaay out of the wheel well. A quick look at the other side and my fear was realized the rear alignment was way off. Anyone know what is going on? Did I screw something up with the panhard bar? Let me know what you think!!

did you install an adjustable panhard bar when you lowered it? if not, pick one up and that will solve your problem. I have a BMR adjustable panhard bar on mine.

Yes I installed the BMR with the lowering springs. Did I not torque it correctly? It was perfect when I installed.

I'd get up underneath the back of the car and check to make sure everything is still tight. When you installed and "set" the panhard bar jam nuts, did you use loc-tite so they wouldn't come loose?

Thank you.

You have to adjust the panhard bar with the full weight on the tires. If the drivers side is sticking out to far, then shorten the panhard bar.

If anything on the bar was loose, you'd know it every time you went over a bump or rough set of RRX. The adjustment nut on mine loosened up (before I realized I didn't put blue LocTite on it) and it sounded like the back half of the car was gonna break off

After you get it set right use a permanent marker to mark the bar and the flats on the adjustment nut so when you're under the car you'll have an instant point of reference to tell you whether or not it's come loose again.
