I noticed very little difference with mine. Granted the rear does feel alot tighter now,but then again with 90K on the clock, the old stock rubber bushings were probably near the end of their life anyhow.

I have these too.
I no longer have that obnoxious rubber bushing squeak from the stock bushings.
They do feel tighter but my steering wheel is now just a tad to the left.

The rear suspension will have nothing to do with your steering wheel? You could remove your suspension completely and try to drive it and it would not effect the front end alignment. Not something I am saying to do but you understand my point.

Re: just installed UMI LCA s and pan rod

All I know is the car was alligned a few weeks before rear suspension components were installed and the wheel was dead straight.

Rear suspension components went on and now the wheel is a tad off so it had somthing to do with those parts.

Again I am only talking a very small amount. I am guessing that the panhard bar is a tad longer or shorter than the OEM one and is accounting for this.
I think it is safe to assume that the two LCA's are the exact same demension hole to hole.

Re: just installed UMI LCA s and pan rod

That is a really weird, but I don't mean to be rude but there in no way. They make adjustable panhard bars (I have one) for recentering the rear end. I have mine adjusted for clearance of 315's, you can adjust that as much as you want and it will not effect your front steering, maybe handle funny yes but will not effect steering. It could be a multiple of things; even as simple as hitting a bump and the A-arm moving slightly since the K-member is slotted.
