Question Can the rear end be centered w/ an adjustable panjard bar?

About 2 yrs ago i hit a curb with the passanger rear weel (rim was totaled) and the whole rear end was pushed to the left side (towards driver side)about 2 inches,i checked everything under the rear and it all seems straigt control arms,panhar bar,stabilazer,etc. Now my question is,wold i be able to straighten things out w/ an adjustable bar?
thanks for any inputs.

The panhard rod/bar is designed to center the rear, so an adjustable one will give you some play room. But before you go and do that, pull off your stock one and make sure it's bent. If it's straight, that means some other (possibly expensive) damage occured.

Thanks for the input trax, I just hope it's not the frame of the car that's bent,and if it is, maybe i can still install an adjustable bar to compensate .

Yeah...I spun out and got stuck on a curb once and the tow truck guy pulled me off by the Panhard rod. It bent the flimsy GM crap like nothing... Didn't realize it till I put the 17X11's on and saw one wheel was sticking way out. Replaced it with an adjustable one and set it till everything was right on Point. So possibly you Bent you Rod. And if the rod's not bent check the Rod henges. THey twist tooo..but it's an easy fix.
