I have a theory.

Can someone jack up the front of their car and get a picture of how far the shock is seated into the knuckle?

Im wondering if the guy who dropped them in didn't get them fully seated. That's the only thing I can think of that would alter the geometry of the sway bar - link - shock system sufficiently to cause this.

If the shocks aren't fully seated, then the swaybar link has to reach up too far, and when the shock compresses, the sway bar and link run out of articulation/travel and it breaks the knuckle off.

If someone can cut their wheel all the way, lift the front of the car and get some pics straight on and underneath that would help. A measurement from the top of the knuckle to the spring perch would also be really helpful.

Thanks all. We'll get this figured out.
