ey guys my diff seems to be more to the righ than the left.
I got a setof 17" FR simmons on the car now with rubber of 20,40, and there 6 inch wide.
The car is lowered, but not to much.
Iv got king springs and monro gas shockers.
I got the guards lipped and its still rubs any1 got any ideas of how i can move the diff a little to the left?
iv seen 18" rims on a gem how the fuck is that possible.
its pissing me off.

Adjustable Panhard rod has nothing to do with your tyres, nor placing any extra stress on them... what it does is holds diff in place, and you get an adjustable one to pull it into the centre after you lower your car (which pushes it out sideways)... have a look under the back of your car and you'll see a rod that goes from the diff, to the body of the car...

I have poo tc's old wheels, 17x7.5 with 225 45 rubber, the springs are bigtime cutters, with 13's it sits lower than 10 cms off the ground, ***also i have the stock panhad rod on my diff, lipped the guards with a pair of pliers and a hammer and havent had a scrape since.

one big concern is on ful lock the inside of the tire an hit the bracket where the flexhose from the brakes goes, rips big sharp holes in ya tires! all fixed now tho, i just turned the clips around
