Default Panhard/3 link help

Hello, my name is Matt and I am a newb. (sigh) it feels so good to finally say it out loud to somebody. Anyway, I did the cms mod on my honcho, it has stainless lower links but still has the plastic y link upper. When I steer its flexing the chassis side to side on the axle, a panhard will solve this but won't it then bind the suspension because of the 3 link that is on there, should I replace the y link with stainless links, just remove the y with a panhard? But then I will have axle wrap. Replace y with a single link? if anybody could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Remove the y link and get a panhard. The way it works is that instead of compressing the suspension up and down completely, itll swing a little bit left and right, its minimal but doesn't affect performance if its set up correctly

You get one link to use for the upper..
Using both upper links will cause it to bind in the suspension travel
