the panhard rod is most likely bent, which he could pick one up from the wreckers for cheap and stick some new bushes in, should cost maybe $50 all up if hes got a spanner, jack and axle stands.

but there could be more problems, like bent mounts, etc. couple of people have done the same thing over the past couple months and bent lots, which would cost a lot to get repaired.

lash out the 8 bucks and get new bushes... seriously...

You want to hope its just the panahrd rod, try that, if its not, take it to a suspension place and get a check done.
