Front Droplinks
 
Can someone help? I need 2 front droplinks but genuine Rover ones. I have had a look on DMGR's and Rimmerbros but can't seem to see any?

Bit stuck now :shrug:

Thanks Steve!

I see that the price is over 60 quid for the pair, do you know if they are worth it over the cheaper ones? Also I've seen these on the bay LINK - any good?

Thanks

You only get the quality you pay so will probably last longer,I would go for genuine ones on my own car as some of the cheap ones wont see you out for a year
dmgrs has them a bit cheaper

Definitely don't want them to fail quickly, so looks like I might have to order those originals from DMGR's then... Thanks again for your help!

Kev

p.s. it seems a shame I have to replace as its only done 54k

What ever ones you fit, add a little bit of grease to them most of the time that is why they fail.

As Steve says grease is the answer. I put some Lemforder ones on my car & packed grease under the rubbers & that was nearly 2 years ago.

So can you just turn up the rubber gaiters to do so or do you have to undo clips and things?


And what type of grease do you use?

I just had some meryle HD drop links fitted. I decided not to add extra grease as they have a 4 year warranty and to tamper with them would invalidate it.
