You could try new rod ends, if that won't do it replace em!

Nitro fuel tubing on either side will help a little.

If the rod ends are replaceable use some traxxas ends. If they are fixed length use the plastic balls from the wraith links for the time being

You can use a couple small sockets and press the socket a bit tighter. I bought a used wraith with some generic links on it. The pressed in side of the socket came apart and the ball fell out. a little holding locktight and some small sockets (7 or 8mm) and I pressed it back into working.

Tossed them shortly after that.

A small O-ring on each side of the ball.

I JB Weld-ed the brass retainer rings, and cut some o rings out of nitro fuel tubing and placed the on both sides of the ball. These are crappy links, I have since replaced them with Axial stage 1 links, and used the HR tubes to make a custom drag link and extended steering column.
