Sounds like a manufacturing fault to me. They should never snap considering the OE ones are plastic and flex. There can't be that much force going through them and the metal ones should easily be able to cope.

I'm sure whoever you got them from would be happy to replace them after only 5 months.

Do you have the ARB too? If the rubber bushes are not greased well, they can lock up....considerably increasing the force taken by the links...causing them to fail.

The Aussie's actually remove the blue paint from the roll bar to be on the safe side....

Check the 2 yellow ARB bushes - I reckon there'll need stripping and regreasing

Can I just ask - what (replacement) grease should be used here? the blue (evil smelling) stuff supplied only just does the job to begin with.

Thanks
