First off, please describe your suspension. Or better, take a pic of it. Because you are arguing with yourself.. You describe a Y link but kinda only on one side, which would make it wristed. Then you call it a three link.

What does rear steer (I assume you are talking about the front end walking under the truck on articulation) have to do with suspension type?

Yes, I do understand the forces involved with a vehicle cornering at 60 mph. It is actually mild compared to what some of the off road trucks see..

Body sway is NOT a matter of link style but by link design.. A TON of other variables should be addressed before building a link system. It takes a reasonable amount of thought, and decision making to find what you can actually do what what you are given.

It IS tough to fit a 4 link under a truck that was not designed for it. Hell, most of the lift 4 link kits are compromises due to available room. But they are still safe. Saying that a panhard bar is the only way to make a front suspension safe is silly.

Your friends have poorly designed suspensions if they handle poorly..
