Default Help after Adjustable UCA install

I installed adjustable rear UCA's last night and I'm still suffering from a bit of vibration from my double cardan rear drive shaft and now the rear track bar doesn't seem to be long enough. First, is there an easier way to adjust the control arms without taking apart the whole rear end, secondly how do I know which way I need to adjust them. Also do I now need to get an adjustable rear track bar and lastly how much should it cost to have this all adjusted by a shop?

take some pics of your rear DS angle. do you have lower CAs too? if your pinion is pointing up too much, you'll want to shorten the uppers. if the pinion is pointing down, you'll want to lengthen.

Is there a way to not have to take apart my rear end again to adjust? Also what about my track bar issues?

Some control arms are adjustable while connected to the frame and axle. Others you have to remove one end or the other.

How do I know which mine are, or should it be just that obvious? Is there a way where I can keep my rear end together but disconnect one side of the arm and adjust and then re set it? Also would I need to jack it up again?

Also is it common to need an adjustable track bar after replacing my control arms?
