the plastic link brakes because the steel ball joint rusted surface is rough and grabbby.
Perhaps sanding the ball surface smooth plus a new linkage will go another 50kMi...

Can't hurt to try. They're easy enough to get to.

I replaced them with metal joints as shown in the picture. Connect two of them with a threaded bar.

It took 3 weeks to get these from Europe, but they look good, I will put them on tomorrow.

Great idea, if these don't work out then I will follow your idea.

Grease them with white lithium too. Clean them up every 2 years. I am still on the original almost 13 year old ones.

I installed them, quick and mostly painless. Fit perfectly and at $12 a piece they were a bargain. Entire job took 20 minutes.

Compared to Ghost Links, it's a steal.

Factory ones were plastic, so my guess is at least 10 years.
