I had my car on the ramp yesterday to check out another rattling under the front end and yet another drop link failure
This is the third time in 19 months and 6k miles I have replaced the same one, each time I have used genuine Delphi and checked with the seller before hand if they are the genuine items, each time the seller has replaced without question but that's not the point.
I always inject grease under the rubbers before fitting so grease isn't the issue.
This time I think I am going for the DMGRS ones with a 4 year warranty.
Also discovered both back shocks are weeping so I don't suppose that's too bad after 16 years for originals.
