It almost sounds like you have two spherical joints at each corner for a total of 8 spherical joints.  This redundancy could have caused the problem.  There should definitely be only one spherical joint at each corner.  The two cylindrical faces of the clevis should be one side of the joint and the cylindrical face of the triangular plate should be the other side.
