Yes, I was disconnected all week at GOX.
My theory on the center link still stands. Force will find the easiest way out, and the idler end of the center link is the easiest, being nothing but a plastic bushing. The ball joints on the tie-rods have no give, neither does the pitman arm link, since it too is a ball joint. The steering box has a little bit of play, but by design.
By stopping, or reducing force anywhere along the centerlink (by using a stabilizer), that force will find it's way out somewhere, in this case, the idler pivot bushing.
