What is the list?s advice regarding
the usefulness of the rod.
It requires removing the rear axle to
repair - a chore I would like to avoid.

I would think that with normal "putzing around" driving that the panhard rod
would be very lightly loaded... With good front bushings in the leaf-springs
and the short shackles on the rear of the leaf-springs there would not be a lot
of lateral flex in the rear axle ..
What I would question is WHY the bracket broke off ...Rust/Rot or improper
panhard rod adjustment ..Broken main leaf ?
