Default Genuine Longbridge Delphi Drop Links - 4 year warranty! 10 available

We've got a limited number of Longbridge factory stock drop links available - the parts fitted to the 75 and ZT in production.

They're unfortunately not cheap, as we had to go through a heck of a rigmarole to get hold of them - but they'll last the 100,000 miles or more the originals regularly do.
Condition is good, however may have slight surface corrosion due to being stored since 2005.

Not to be confused with the Delphi drop links available at the moment, which don't seem to last anywhere near as long (and are noticeably different in design to the original item).

Supplied in brown box packaging, as we bought these as full 75 / ZT front suspension assemblies that we have disassembled ourselves.

Order here: https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/products/gen...rover-75-mg-zt

The mind boggles as to how Delphi have managed to re-pattern the original parts that they manufactured so badly . . . .

I should have kept my original drop links and attempted to get them reproduced properly!

With any luck, I've got my paws on a decent supply - just will take a few months to meander their way over here.

No idea how they've managed to come out with what they have for the 75 / ZT now - probably down to cost, like everything else.
Manufacturers don't realise that people WILL pay good money for long-lasting parts - this thread is credence to that.

Yes, I guess people will, however it's a complete waste of resources producing useless rubbish, and a can't believe that these would have cost MG Rover anything near £75 per pair when they were in production.
