If youve got a mechanic you trust, you can ask him about the overall safety of the frame and if just that area thats bad or the whole thing.
Lots of off roaders remove the stabilizer bar for more flex. It just does cause a little more body roll with cornering.
If the rest of the vehicle will pass inspection, Id just remove the stabilizer bar and start saving for your next vehicle
You can add it to a class action suit if it makes you feel better, but after 15-20 years, its not going anywhere and probably isnt worth your time or energy

I think you're talking about the sway bar removal. The panhard needs to be there. It locates the axle under the vehicle. The rear control arms, the drive shaft, and the coils are not designed to hold the axles position under later loads. It will fail.
