what about the angle of the panhard bars from frame to rear .just thinking if it was angled from pinion forward to frame would it want to shove rear backwards and keep car from jacking and reversing it help too jack?

The rear end can only move front to back as much as the 4-bars allow it to.

As the rear is being forced under the car with ph bar angle to front wouldn't it shove rear back adding pressure to the bc ? I think it would? thats alot of force. Not side force rearward force delaying the car get on bars?

My point is, you're not pushing the rear-end anywhere because for every amount of force you try to push it backward, it pushes back forward as long as it is tied to the chassis with the 4-bars. (Google "normal force".) So unless something bends or breaks, the forward and backward path of the rear end isn't going to change.
It would take an awful lot of pressure to put it in a bind to slow rear end action unless you have crappy birdcages or 4-bar heims. If they're that bad, you've probably got things binding already without any additional force caused by a misaligned j-bar.

The panhard bar cannot apply any force in that direction unless a heim is bound.
