I have got some of steve heaths drop links on the front of me 350 and have had them for years but there is now quite a bit of play in them and quite a noise coming from them at low speeds and turning. Are they goosed and if so what is the alternative to these please guys.

You can get bits to replace the worn rose joints - look on the flea.

Mine were the same, rattling away all the time. I took them off and spent ages packing the void behind the actual joint with LM grease. They've only been back on 4 weeks but so far all is quiet.....

Very topical.

I've got to replace the droplinks, the bushes and probably the ARB as well. I'm new to Wedgedom so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks chaps.

Mounting bolts can loosen off as my did, I had to add some washers to get them to sit correctly plus once fitted I wrapped in denso tape to stop grit accessing the joints, also if you have adjustable shocks denso is great for protecting the threads.
