Over the last 2 weeks I've broken 6 of them. They've been breaking where they attach to the ball stud and they've been breaking as a pair. Looks like the plastic is very hard and brittle. I bought some Lunsford turnbuckles and ballcups and installed them as a quick fix-seems to work so far.
Razoo,

Did your side links pivot freely on the ball studs?

Are you running a foam front bumper?

What kinds of impacts are you having that breaks them?
