How does one center a rear????

Too make a long story short, I have a 92 camaro, Installed a 97 SS rear(obviously 2 " wider for each side). The rear suspension is pretty much all modified. I also have an adjustable Panhard bar from Lakewood. When i finished installing the rear i noticed viewing from the rear that the driver side tire sticked out alot more than the passenger side. I then removed the panhard bar from the rear adjusted it a bit more and it did center it alot better, but how do i make sure its COMPLETLY even???


I also forgot to mention that i have GTA rims and they do stick out a bit too much for my taste. Does this mean that i'll have to live with it? I was thinking of getting SS rims, but would installing SS rims bring them more in or would they still stick out as much as the GTA's do?

You should be able to adjust it in the car. My Road Tech PHB does. Just adjust it till the rear is evenly spaced on both wheelwells. I used a plumb bob and a steel ruler to set mine. An alignment shop can also tell you if it's right. After extensive suspension mods you should get it checked. After installing and rebuilding my suspension it needed some adjustment but was close. My PHB was dead on.
