What is the best way to set the adjustable tracking bar to know that it is correct?

What? You mean an adustable panhard bar? I don't get what you're asking.

With the panhard bar adjusted correctly, the axle/wheels/tires should be centered left to right.

the best way is once you install the bar, leave the "jam nut" loose and lower the truck so the weight is back on the rear tires. Then measure from back of tire/wheel to frame rails....adjust the heim joint until the measurements are the same..then snug up the jam nut.

ALSO YOU PANHARD ROD SHOULD BE AS LEVEL AS POSSIBLE. THE MORE ANGLE IT IS AT THE MORE IT WILL BID YOUR SUSPENSION.
