UMI Double Adjustable Panhard Bar

Whats the best or most common way to have this bar adjusted? I got it installed this past winter and its great while driving, but I've been having problems at the SCCA tech inspections for auto-x. When you push on the rear tire the whole car wobbles side to side and feels very loose. I haven't had the rear kick out on me while driving, but I've already been told to get it fixed before I go back to race. Anyone have similar issues?

the best way is on an alighnment rack, set the length to get 0 thrust angle. ever see a 70 nova drive sideways down the road thats a lot of thrust angle. check the brackets that the panard bar attaches too, check the holes are not ovaled out. you should really have almost zero side to side play.

If all of the hardware is tight the joints/bushings might be worn out..

I'll have to call the shop that installed it and see if they will put it on their alignment rack. The front axle was "loose" too, but I tightened that with channel locks. As far as I know, the rear suspension is original aside from my mods below. That includes the bushings and I know that my torque arm has a dent in the bottom (not that it would effect lateral movement).
