	The anti roll bar and the panhard rod serve two competely
different purposes.  The panhard bar keeps the car centered over the rear
suspension, "locates it".  If there is flex in that, the car will bounce
with lateral loads causing the rear tracking to change.  Something you
dont need to worry about with ind rear quattros...
