Like suggested

Panhard bar is to keep diff centered on a truck arm or camaro style setup it has no sway bar properties

This four link rear suspension is built for drag racing not for corner carving
That is why it sways
I would agree w/gmc684x4.

Panhard bar is just a side to side locator. It's not going to impact 'body-roll' significantly. A front sway-bar + the rear springs/shocks out-board of the frame (or as close to the frame as possible) will make the biggest impact.

Personally I would remove what's there for a rear Ride Tech 4-bar/coil-over set-up (or similar manufacturer). But, I get minimizing expenses & working w/what's there if possible.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
