you could unbolt the panhard bar and see if it drops (have a jack underneath so it doesn't drop too much) if it evens out then the bar is the problem get an adjustable if not then it is torque arm or control arms

I only have one pinch weld jack....where else can I jack that's safe. I see some places, but I don't want to bend or snap anything. Or is the pinch weld strong enough for other jacks....?

Well, some ******* hoisted my Camaro onto 4 floorjacks one time. Not sure where the two front jacks were, but the two rear jacks he put on my rear swaybar!! What a ******. Could that hurt my suspension?

doubtfull so he didn't jack at an end? that thing is spring steel it would look bent if it bent more than likely to check just unbolt it if everything levels out you have teh culprit
