What would be the point of this? The purpose of a Panhard rod is to keep the axle from shifting side-to-side - if the Panhard is allowed to telescope, it don't do nothing and may as well not be there in the first place (which becomes dangerous, because your front axle would then be free to move back and forth a few inches, and handling would go stupid on you. Coil springs don't locate an axle laterally like leaf springs used to...)
