[QUOTE="blacksheep-1, post: 13177719, member: 33936"] OK. for now, put one of the upper control arms in place, set the car down flat on the floor. you will not be able to do any meaningful adjustments until all the weight is into the car, but this will get you by. The panhard bar should already be installed when you lower the car. Once the car is on the floor you should be able to twist the bar's tube (like a tie rod end) and it will center the rear for you. Now, the reason you use 1 UCA is to take the bind out of the rearend. If you picture the two UCA as arcs, then you see that they will "pull" against each other, this is how the factory centers the rear at (this is important) THE ENGINEERED RIDE HEIGHT. The first things us hot rod types do to improve handling is to lower the car, this IMMEDIATELY places those two UCA into opposition to each other. Adding a Panhard bar at this time only adds another COMPETING arc to the cluster that is already there. By removing one of those UCAs you remove this competition for arcs and you can center the rear. Some road race guys even use that, it's called a "poor man's three link" and it works fairly well, but will eventually rip out of the floor. good so far? [/QUOTE]
