Worked on the rear axle more today, added washers between the brake line mount and the frame and relocated the e-brake cable mount. I understand the function of the panhard bar, the issue is that it moves the axle to the right and hence the top driver side trailing arm drops down on top of the upper sway bar link. I just slowly kept letting the axle drop until the shocks stopped the axle from dropping anymore and the sway bar link did indent into the upper trailing arm, but the overall arm is not bent, just indented.
