Too much coffee today.  I've been looking at 4 link rear axles, and
the panhard bars.  It looks like the usual panhard bar will tend to
push the axle to one side as it travels vertically.  The only way to
prevent this that I can think of is to make a bellcrank between two
panhard bars, and mount the axle to the bellcrank.  But I don't see
anyone building this setup, so the L-R movement of the axle might not
be a problem.  Anyone have some suspension experience?
