The other week I kind of hit a curb sliding and my driver side wheel got pushed in. That day found out the stock panhard bar was bent but the frame and mounting points were undamaged. I did have a t3 one on the side that I didn't get to use yet so I put it on. I'm having a hard time adjusting it to the center so both sides are even. My question is if the passenger side is sitting out way to far, and the driver side is still sunken I need to extend the lateral bar more right?

possibly. you may want to check the integrity of each of your 4 links and the lower shock mount.

Bottom shock mount looked fine, so did the 4 links.
I followed these steps but still sticking out a on one side... I should just take it to a alignment shop already.

1. Jack the car from the rearend.
2. Place jack stand unto the frame of the car.
3. Remove Lat Rod.
3. Lower the jack until the car sit into the jack stand.
4. Raise the jack from the rearend until the car's frame lift up from the jack stand.
5. Adjust the Lat Rod until the mounting holes line up.
6. Install the new Lat Rod. Making sure the adjusting knuckle is tight.
7. Remove jack stand and lower the car.

I just put the jackstands under the diff and let the suspension load from the weight of the car. this will get ur initial alignment right. and I adjusted mine on the car.

Like what McKenney suggested:

1. Just rest the car with the rear end sitting on a pair or jack stands.
2. Adjust the panhard bar to extend the driver side out further maintaining a safe amount of the rod end threading still within the main bar.

Normally when you lower a stock car with a factory panhard, the rear end should push out towards the driver side. With an adjustable panhard, you're able to center the rear end by shortening the bar.

my rear end sat towards the passenger.... lol
