...for the panhard mount, at any rate. If the OP already has their axles prepped for a panhard, I don't know why they're asking about link length-- nobody knows. Gonna be different for every servo, really.

Four link front and rear, Capra axles, Chassis mounted servo, not soa, want the size of the link from the servo arm to the steering knuckle! I’m no newbie to the sport just here Bro. Just trying to see if anyone knows.. so I could order before I build and measure it myself.

Four link + CMS = not an exceptionally good idea
That's why every CMS conversion includes/requires a track/panhard bar adapter. The panhard stops the servo from trying to push the whole front end to the side.

What you're asking for isn't something that really exists off the shelf (a CMS link for a SOA only axle). Someone may have converted a Capra axle to CMS but is very unlikely a company has made links for that configuration being that its super uncommon. Though you could try contacting Locked Up RC to see if they have lengths since they made a CMS mount.
You may just need to wait until its mostly assembled to measure and order a link. Dlux Fab and Hardcore RC sell individual links by the length. You could even make a mockup link or an actual link from some all thread cut to length and some rod ends. Harley Designs has a good video on making links if you want to go that route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-n_8qglh6w
Like has been mentioned already CMS with a 4 link is a bad idea. The links will bind and wont be able to move freely as the 4 link locks the axle in place pretty good and its now fighting the panhard which needs to shift the axle back and forth. So you should go with a 3 link up front.

4link with CMS will give you issues.
