What Damage Can a Bent Panhard Bar Cause???

I've just noticed my Panhard Bar is bent where it bolts to the suspension. I have SPOHN rear suspension parts but I'm not quite ready to install them yet. When I put the car on the rack I want to do everything that needs to be done to the rear all at once. But at the same time I'm still driving the car. That's why I'm posting this question to you Guys and Gals. All comments are greatly appreciated...

just put the panhard bar on now and you won't have to worry about it. Its only two bolts. Takes about 20 minutes tops...

Yeah go ahead and change it. The panhard is what keeps the rear centered under the car, so if it's bent the rear might be out of center and if it's flexing when you drive then the rear is sliding side to side. Not a good thing.

Thanks Guys. I didn't want to waste rack time but I'll go ahead and replace the bar tomorrow morning. A Buddy of mine has a rack in his yard. Good Deal!!! Thanks Again Guys...
