I ran one on my old ZOOK and it was well worth the effort it drive a lot better with it on.

if you keep the shackle short you probably won't really need one

but if you do make one, make sure the panhard follows the same lines (looking from the front) as the drag link to minimise binding

it wont bind because of the drag-link, it will just move the pitman arm.
