I have a 88gt that about 3 years ago I put in a 5 lug swap & disc brake conversion (M-2300-k) & also put in all new ford racing springs, granatelli lower control arms, Steeda adjustable uppers, & koni shocks. Well I pulled out the rear axle because it was just easier & I wanted to paint it. So when I put it back in & put my tires on my tire stuck out about an inch on the passenger side. Now I've done some searching on threads but the only thing I could find was a few threads that said most foxes are like that. But I did find one that suggested installing a panhard bar. Would this be a good option still? Or should I try taking out the rear again & put it back in?

Inspect your torque boxes and control arm mounts and make sure nothing is torn or damaged.
