On an other note, are you steering arm binding with the kingpin? On mine they dont move up and down freely. The hole seems to be too small for the kingpin and Im tempted to drill it out so it slides up and down better.
Interesting
They are the same links from the lightning f it's possible the temperature difference made the link snap? Plastics don't like cold
A question for you though, did you add a shock o-ring under the piston to lessen the pod droop? You want about 1.5-2 pod droop
Also are you running the kit springs?

I used a 3mm arm reamer on my steering knuckles to help them move freely but you shouldn't need them as you can use the set screw to lock the knuckle to the kingpin.
