I don't think the rear rod-shock absorber item being discussed is really a Panhard Rod. As I understand it, a Panhard Rod is to prevent the sideways motion of the rear axle. The Packard part has a shock absorber which will allow the axle to move from side to side. The rear axle is located by the leaf springs and their mountings to the frame. The rod's function is to serve as a sway bar and absorb some shock. Right?
