Drop links
N/S front MOT failure today. Pair bought off DMGRS in December 2016 and driven approx. 20K. Tester comment "Anti-rollbar linkage ball joint likely to become detached".
I know Lemforder have been recommended, any other brands I can try, need to get a pair ordered quick? Last edited by rab60bit; 25th November 2021 at 18:14.. Reason: Utterly incorrect dates |

Did I see that DMGRS have an offer on at the moment on these, plus a no-quibble 4 year guarantee ?
Personally, I'd rather support a business like DMGRS that have helped to keep our cars on the road for the long term (think re-manufactured suspension arms ), than an unknown ebay seller with a warranty that's full of loopholes and may well have disappeared if/when you need to make a claim Just a thought.....

I would ask the tester for a fuller explanation of what he found. "Likely to become detached" could mean that the fixing nuts need tightening. Simon

The N/S drop link lower joint was the culprit, it wasn't as bad as the tester's comment "....ball joint likely to become detached..." but the bellows was intact and there was more than a little play in it so my guess is either insufficient grease or a poor (SIAC/DMGRS) product to begin with.
