Drop links

[scarr89]

Should they be fitted with the arm 'hanging' freely or could you use a jack, raise it up to make it line up?

I have 1 adjustable fitted that lined up with not hassle, as it the arm was just hanging there with no weight on the axles. But unfortunately I lost the bush for the other adjustable one and washing thinking of re using my old original one. But I would need to raise the arm up a tad with a jack to make it line up...

Ok to run 1 OEM 1 adjustable for a while until I get some new adjustable drop links...

Ok if I switch back to both original drop links but have to raise up both of the arms to get the holes lined up...

Not ok to run one of each, get some new adjustable ASAP otherwise you will crash and die...

Yay

Did you just say that cause I asked yay or nay or actually understood the question and reckon I could use 1 original drop link by raising the arm up? 

[JimBR]

No I understand 

Put the jack under the wishbone and raise it until the bolt lines up then voila

100% fine to run with the plastic ones? 

[JimBR]

I'd change both sides to the plastic ones until the new ones come.

Could I just run the plastic ones forever/until they need replacing? Or are metals adjustable ones a must?

If running a standard ARB and have lowered it 40mm or less then yeah I cant see why not.

What about an eibach front ARB?

[JimBR]

Can't see why not. As long as the eibach is compatible with oem bolts and doesn't need ones with a different thread or whatever.
