Hi guys, im pretty sure ive got a droplink bushing problem. All the symptons are there.

I aint to familiar with the suspension set up so...

A. wheres the drop link bushing?

B. Is it dangerous to drive with this problem ( I aint going too mad at the moment).

Cheers for any help chaps

Ive just had a good look under there and noticed theres an inter connecting steel bar which goes from one side to the other. Its snapped off on the left side!

Does anyone know what this is called? so i can replace it. it goes from one side to the other along the chassis.

Thanks

swift.

That's the anti-roll bar. It may be the weld at the connection at the lower arm that has broken though...

Only as far as the garage if possible - your handling will be fairly majorly affected.

The arm isn't massively expensive as I recall - and you should be able to source one from a breakers without too much stress too.

Or better still, buy and fit an uprated one by Whiteline, etc, foe better handling.

I think its the bracket weld on the lower arm rather than the arb or droplink that's gone........

Not dangerous to drive if driven sensibly.
