I'm still on original, so 12 years isn't bad

Mine were knocking a little, at 28k miles, age must have got them.

post 3 this thread. why did you put grease into the rubber bush, it could weaken the bush making it in-effective?.

Unipart is where i would go. Original parts.

suzublu · 30th June 2014, 21:43

Unipart will be getting an order tomorrow, thanks one & all

rich17865 · 30th June 2014, 21:55

They will come with next working day courier included in the price

who, me? generally excepted oil and grease makes rubber swell or go spongy unless made to work in those conditions. drop links work in dry or wet conditions. are you trying to stop it from squeaking?.

Well, tried a few times to order online from Unipart, but kept getting a warning saying i was being re-directed to an unsafe site

So, i searched for a local outlet & found a Unipart warehouse a few miles away. Off i go and ask for a pair of the droplinks..... Bonus!!!!!!! only 12 squids as opposed to 17 online

saved a tenner

So, these will be fitted soon

Good to know they are cheaper at a branch, I will have to pop along to my local one next time I want something.
