Droplinks again
Hi everyone,
I have a dreaded droplink knocking again. So far I've tried Delphi ones which seemed to be longest lasting ones lasted about 7 months the euro car parts ones which lasted from a few days to about a month and now the DMGRS ones which both times lasted about 2 months. I could probably get another warranty replacement but what's the point I'd it goes again in 2 months. Has anyone got any experience with what rimmers sells as orginal? There a few heavy duty ones on Ebay as well but I dont know if they can be trusted to fit properly. Edit: hopefully my new neighbourhood that hasn't got speed bumps is going to be kinder at droplinks as well Last edited by thanos.m; 8th September 2020 at 09:29.. |

HI Thanos. I have used these in the past and they lasted more than any of the above, Unipart were good when you could get them, currently a set as been on a car for 3 years and still going. Any that you buy now always add some extra grease into the rubbers, using a small syringe https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282305057187 A lot of drop links now are only any good for 12 months poor i know but alas that is what is happening.

same problem
Is this a normal fault? I've had to change mine last Saturday and previously a few months before. I don't mind the work, but surely they should be lasting a little longer. Does adding extra grease to the ball help? Also does anyone know off an Air suspension kit to fit a 2.0 CDTi Connoisseur.

I was fed up of drop links going bad, Delphi surprised me and only lasted a few thousand miles so I went mad and ordered some with a 4 year no quibble guarantee from DMGRS. More expensive but hopefully see out the distance, if not they have a guarantee.

If you grease them make sure that the grease is plastic/nylon compatible or it may speed up the wear!
