Title: Frt Anti-roll bar drop links?
Post by: Blackie_No1 on 08 May 2008, 09:33: Hey guys,

Got a bit of a clunk from the front of my 8valver, noticed that the near side drop link rubber bush is shot, how difficult are these to replace? Do the bolts sieze on these?Any hints or tips?

Tanx

Don't suppose you could post pics up of the bit thats broken on your car so I can see if its the same!

Cheers
