Keep the panhard bar pivot points as low as practicable (keeps your roll 
center down), and at the same level.  If the bar is not level with the car 
static, it will push the body to the side as the springs compress.  Making 
the bar as long as you can will also minimize this effect.

The car may be wandering due to air packing in underneath, which is lifting 
the front of the car.  Try putting restraints on the front suspension to 
limit the upwards travel.  Also add an air dam up front if the rules allow, 
to force the air to go around or over the top.
