The panhard rod and the drag link ulimately should be at the same angle and length and low. As a patrol panhard is not the same length as the drag link, and it is where it is, it is good to have it on the same angle.
When the axle travels up and down (both wheels not articulation) the panhard and draglink are going to travel on their own radius. When there is a difference in angle the panhard and draglink will travel on a different radius to each other. As the panhard is fixed and the draglink is not. So the the only way the can both move on a seperate radius is for the steering wheel to turn as the axle travels up and down. This is called bump steer.
