Questions on install & adjustment on panhard rod...

Waiting for LGMotorsports adjustable panhard rod. Drivers side has adjustable rod-end, other side has poly bushing...

I have read comments about folks adjusting their panhard rod, I was wondering a few things:

1.) How difficult is it to install one,
2.) Any tips on how to install a panhard rod,
3.) How to adjust this adjustable phr,
4.) What do I look for on my car that tells me that I NEED to adjust the phr, and which adjustment does what?

Pardon my ignorance, I want to make sure that I do this the right way.

Comments would be appreciated.

1) Amazingly easy
2) Climb under there, remove the two bolts thru the stock Panhard, adjust the new one to the same length, put it in place, install the two bolts
3) Loosen the jam nut on the rod end, and thread the rod in or out the desired amount, tighten the jam nut. You probably want some loc-tite on the jam nut to hold it in place.
4) Your axle being out of center, compared to your fenders. Well, actually compared to your frame if you want to be picky. So grab a tape measure, a plumb-bob, and anything else that might help you decide if the axle is shifted to the left or right. You can measure from the wheel to the fender, or the wheel to some point like the LCA bracket (on the frame).
