Default reference for adjustment of panhard bar(speedtech suspension)

Hi
Just wondering what is the proper location to be taken as a reference for adjusting or centering the axle via a panhard bar (speedtech suspension)?

I realized that the gap between the frame rail and inner tire on the passenger side is more than the driver side. The rocker panels also were widened a bit to fit 335 tires but I noticed the gap between the fender lip and the tire are almost the same on both the driver and passenger sides.

Maybe taken the gap between the tire and fender lip will be misleading due to panel installation

would appreciate your input guys

IT SOUNDS like some of the body parts are off. you need to center it so it both looks correct AND doesn't rub. there really is no Normal setting.
make sure the front spring mount bolts are loose when you adjust the panhard bar, THEN when your happy with the location tighten the spring pocket bolts and then drill and install the 2 additional bolts in each spring pocket as per the instructions

Thanks Blake but do you mean to reinstall the parts again?
