Frt Anti-roll bar drop links?
« 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?

No idea mate, but I also have a clunk from the front left corner.

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

I just removed mine the other day. Its a simple nut and bolt job so even if it is seized it can be cut off and replaced. i dont know how much the new links are though

Have you had a good go around with a pry bar to find play in things like top mounts and ball joints,  try it first because it wouldnt be the first time people have spend £Â£Ã‚£ and totaly missed the actualy fault  :smiley:
