Have you just installed springs and nothing else? Did you install an adjustable panhard rod and shorter shocks? The stock panhard rod will now be too long so an adjustable number is required to center the diff. Without it the car will crab. For that matter have you got some shorter shocks to keep the super lows captive in the rear?

thanx for ur reply iv installed the rear springs and short shockers but not the panard rod. wat do i hav 2 do wen i get it do i just hav 2 change the stock 1 4 the adjustable 1?

Well, thats the first step. The new rod should come with bushes etc, make sure they are greased properly before you install the rod. You'll then need to adjust it to center the diff. Some of them are 'on car' adjustable which is alot easier, you can crank them to the correct setting without constant and annoying removal and installation. If you've got the option get the on car type!

To center the diff I made a chalk mark down the centerline of the car (on the fuel tank from memory) and aligned the diff/driveshaft with that. Use axlestands or car ramps if you have them, if not you'll need to make sure the alignment sits right with the car on the ground. If you use body stands/jack pads and make the alignment without the weight on the axle/suspension then if will swing back out on the ground.

The pan hard rod is 2 bolts - 1 at each end. Takes about 20 mins to swap in the drive way.
