OK so I'm going to be working on suspension soon.

I watched in install tutorial on installing a panhard bar, but theres another bar that goes across right above it, but angled up.

what is that?

That's is the upper panhard bar support. It doesn't assist then panhard bar in it's motion. It's job is to keep the bracket the panhard bar mounts to from deforming. If it were to be removed the bracket would flex as the side loading forces are being applied to the PHB.

Good man. I just looked at pictures and definitely agree with this.
