there's no reason for an OE endlink to break unless;

it was defective

there is an interference issue with another part that caused it to break

it was installed backwards and bound up

it has high mileage and was simply worn out and should haver been replaced long ago


my bet is that it was installed backwards, the front end links are LH & RH side-specific; I know several people who made this mistake and everyone of them broke as a result

I don't think that's possible on the front.
