Problems with running 1/4" wheel spacers on one side?

Hey guys, my rear axle is not centered and I already have a panhard drop bracket installed. It is shifted about 1/2-3/4" to the passenger side. As a temporary solution, is there any problems that can happen with running 1 or 2 1/4" wheel spacers on the drivers side to even things up temporarily? Also, how can I modify my panhard rod to make my axle even, thanks guys.

No rubbing of any kind. Sometimes I can just be picky with my ride height and wheel fitment, etc. Just something I've noticed and been obsessing a little about until I get this panhard rod situated. There shouldn't be any kind of imbalance or anything should there?

I also know my wheel bearings are going bad and I just replaced a seal yesterday temporarily, was just curious if these wheel spacers could cause more problems with my wheel bearings.

Well I decided to remove the wheel spacers, not doing me any good. When the weather gets a bit better I'll finally get around to fixing my panhard rod to get things even again. My next project though is going to be wheel bearings, that should be fun.
