Front axle alignment was created by saxj
My Jimny was in an accident which caused the panhard rod to get bent. Now even after the rod has been straightened, The axle is still out of alignment.

How do I measure to make sure that the axle has been aligned correctly?

Measure the distance between wheel rim and chassis rail. Should be equal both sides.

fit a new or used panard rod as the bent on that has been strightened may not be 100% true
or the mounting point on the axle/chassis may be bent out or alignment

Thanks, but I think the postage may be a bit excessive, I'm in South Africa.
