Stark Drop Links

Had to fit another drop link today, trying a few brands to try and find out the better ones.

A vote for Stark drop link construction, removed the rubber boot to check to see how much grease is in the joint and it’s loaded.

Correct Pete, and at £13 each, they have to be worth a try.

So no problems with importing them from Europe ?

If you are prepared to wait.
It took them over 3 weeks to get a ABS sensor to me and it was only a little jiffy bag.

They use a company to ship items called GLS, who are a total shower.
It is not just me, check out the reviews here

I am not saying that the products Autodoc use are not good, but when ordering, I would specify either not to use GLS, or order well in advance.

I've only ever had to wait a week for anything from them.

Nope, none at all.

That is good news.
Maybe they use an alternative carrier, rather than GLS, for heavier items.

GLS has very poor reviews on Trustpilot with over 4,800 coming up with a 90% of ratings for bad and poor service.

That was my experience too.

Just saying.....
