I will measure that.

If the white ones have 28 cm as Arctic suggests and pink have 27,5 cm I doubt I could notice it with my eyes, or even it would manage to ruin the drive

What do you think ?

Agreed

My measures: front 39,4 cm rear 39,3 cm. I measured by middle of the caps to the top of arch.

WTF. Need to say, I've got almost full tank now and it always looks better with that

No issue there then

I checked everything under the car in the pit and I think the droplinks are really dead. When we bounce the car there are coming knocks from places where the links are. On the both sides. Then if I turn the wheels out of arch and then swing firmly with the wheel forwards (to me) there is also small knock coming like from the middle of the wheel, hard to tell. Again on both sides.

Its usually the top joint that fails on the droplinks. uncouple the bottom joint it only takes 5 mins and you will then be able to feel any movement in the top joint.

Ok stocktake. I ordered some MG7 Saic droplinks so I probably change them anyway as these have passed 30 000kms and almost 2 years, I believe this is good achive

check the old ones however.

Today it's MOT day so fingerscrossed
