I see paddocks and such like sell replacement panhard rods which are adjustable. What is the purpose of the adjustment?

To reposition the axle after a suspension lift.

If you do the maths it's not worth it unless you have a 6" lift, the amount of displacement sideways is negligeable unless you have a serious lift.  I thought about buying one because my axle seesm to be slightly off to one side, that's just the production tolerance.
