Drop links advice

[dva99999]

hi all,
I've just purchased the powerflex drop link bushes
https://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-series/product-details/Anti+Roll+Bar+Link+Rod+Bush/1995.html

...but I'm wondering whether I need to buy new drop links and replace the rubber bush, or do I just replace the old bush. Does the rubber at the other end wear out, or does fitting the new bush negate the need for new drop links?

Thanks

Its normally the ball joint end that will take the wear so i would say its new links and bushes replaced the bushes will help with the compliance but the joint does the work....

i'd buy new ones If it was me as the ball joint may be worn and they are not expensive, the rears are ok to keep the old ones as you replace both ends

Thanks for that. Ive just noticed that ECP don't do the Lemforder ones, and have replaced them with OCAP, so I'll look elsewhere for the Lemforders.

I've replaced the rear drop links but did not put poly bushes in those ones. Should I have done?

Thanks again.

TBH I would change them in a couple of years when they are past there best as you prob wont notice the difference from new bushes and polly

Personally I'd buy new drop links. I've just had a pair of Meyle HDs delivered from ebay for £19.99.
