my lanys lifted 2", and has castor corrected arms so angles are right, when putting the radius arms on i took off the panhard rod, didnt fit on again so i now have an adjustable one, after a hours faffing under the car i cant seem to set it right.. the steering wheel is now off center and the car pulls to the right. if im lengthening things like shocks and springs, increasing height sureley the rod would have to be longer? but it seems to be pushing the axle over to the passenger side, because the wheel is protruding the arch more on one side. also ive replaced the steering damper for a new terrafirma one easy job. but why would my steering wheel be offf centered? i had to drive it into the garrage with out the P rod could that have done something to the geometry? anybody done this before? anything sensible will be appreciated thanks. will
 
You need to go and have 4 wheel alingnment done at a good tyre garage. Playing with you panhard rod will meen your axles don't line up any more. As for the steering wheel being out, it's down to the drag link but there's no point setting that till you have sorted the crabbing out.
Before you get it set up. It will be worth cheaking all your wheel bearings and swivels for play as well as bushes and the rear axle ball joint. Other wise system will pickup play rather than miss alignment.
Good luck.

There's always the easy option which is putting it back to standard.
 
standard!!!! neevvveeerrr! lol cheers mate its sorted, fitted the rod and took it to a garrage, had the wheels aligned the front traxcking rod needed twisting. the wheels were both twisted about 20mm in opposite ways :-S, never handle beter! and in the snow. touch wood itll stay now. and top tip. turn your cab heater vents upside down, they poin directly at you! toasty!
