My new drop links arrived this morning. Tempted to fit them myself as I used to do lots of rebuild etc. It looks like a straight bolt off - bolt on replacement unless anyone can tell me otherwise? Anything I have missed or should take into account?

Cheers

Drop links are a pair of tie rods about 8-10" that connect the front anti-roll bar to the suspension. When they wear out you can get an awful metallic rattle particularly noticable at low speed over bumpy surfaces (manhole covers or cats eyes etc)

Thanks for that info, pleased to say my 993 has not developed that problem; but... the weird thing is, our family MPV bus has recently developed precisely that problem. Exactly as you describe it. Serendipity, eh... smile
