INSTRUCTIONS
1. Begin by jacking up the rear of the vehicle, place jack stands under rear end housing.
2. Loosen and remove the bolts securing the stock panhard bar.
3. Remove the stock panhard bar.
4. The panhard bar is set to OEM length. If your vehicle is lowered you will need to lengthen
the bar. To lengthen the bar, loosen both jam nuts. Then hold both del-sphere ends and turn
the bar.
5. Install the panhard bar onto the vehicle using the supplied spacers on either side of the del-
sphere end. Use the OEM bolts and make the nuts hand tight only at this time.
6. Lower the vehicle to the ground. Measure the distance from the outside edge of your rim to
the edge of the fender well. You should have the same distance on both sides of the vehicle.
7. If your rear end is not centered you can now adjust your panhard bar. One end of the bar is
left hand threaded, and the other end is right hand threaded, this allows for on vehicle
adjustment. This will move your rear to the left or to the right, depending on which way you
turn the bar.
8. When you have your rear end centered, tighten the jam nuts, and then tighten the
mounting bolts to 75 ft/lbs.
9. Jam nuts are known to work loose over time. To prevent this we recommend that after you
have the panhard bar set to your desired length you apply some REMOVABLE strength (Blue)
Loctite to the del-sphere threads and then tighten up the jam nuts on each end of the panhard
bar.
Note: To check your rear for center drop a plumb bob off of the edge of your quarter panel
and measure from the plumb string to the face of your rim edge. You want the same distance
on both sides of the vehicle
