Think I got them through ECP and this happened. Get the metal ones, worth the extra few quid...Snapped after less then 6 months.

One of mine did that but only when I was being lazy and tried to lift both wheels on one side of the car at the same time. The original equipment ones were plastic and the replacement, which was still on the car when I sold it, was also plastic.

i didn't even know you could get plastic ones tbh

 

sounds like a crazy idea to me, rather see proper metal stuff myself

Whilst I won't be buying any more plastic ones it's good to get both sides of the story!

 

The metal ones I got as replacements felt much, much sturdier. Perhaps a decent plastic one would have been better, these were el' cheapos!

Thats just a cheap/badly made part. Loads of cars have plastic links without trouble.
