Sorry it took so long to get ananswer to this but, this is what the engineers said.
The toe link is not really a torsional member. It’s mainly loaded in tension/compression. As the suspension compresses and rebounds the knuckle does rotate a little due to the angling of the virtual lower control arm and that rotation does impart a small amount of torsion into the arm but the amount of rotation is small and, thus, so is the induced torsion. If it were loaded in torsion by any significant amount, it would be round like driveshafts and axles.
The smallest cross-section of the billet links is double what the smallest cross-section of the OEM part is and our material strength approaches that of typical stamping steels. Similar strength combined with more cross-sectional area means a stronger part.
I think this answers your questions. If you have anymore ill be glad to try and get a nswer to them. Thanks for asking.
