***Powerflex forged rear aluminium drop links and poss full bush kit GB***
Bren, I'm interested in a few bits from the Powerflex catalogue.
Can you get discount from them on orders over £100.
The full bush kit isn't exactly what I need as I already have some of these parts, but I do need a selection of others.
Thanks
Duncan

We have 6 pairs of the rear drop links left at the offer price of £38.34 a pair.
Ill look into the complete car kits. What brand bush sets have you seen on Ebay? Powerflex or other?

Just an update that might be of interest to a few guys.
I bought a set of BC coilovers from the group buy run by Apex earlier this year.
Got them all fitted together with a W/L ARB and everything was rosy for a month or so. And then I started getting this knocking from the rear at low speeds just like the infamous STi rear suspension knock, and the very thing that had prompted me to change to coilys in the first place.
I checked all the installation of the BC legs and could find nothng loose or worn. It got louder and louder to the point where I was considering removing the new BC's and refitting the old legs to see if it changed anything.
Then I spotted this GB and fitted the new drop links from Apex.
TADA! No more knocking.
The car has only done 26k, and off the car I can see no excessive wear in the old links.
This might seem a little obvious in hindsight, but I had no reason to suspect them as faulty as I checked them when I installed the new ARB.
I thought I'd post this in case anybody else came across a similar problem.

Do you know what i might have the same problem.
I have just fitted my BC coilovers and at the same time a white line anti roll bar and white line drop links....took it to the ring and a couple laps later...getting a knocking noise from the back left, everything seams tight and everything is new...could this be faulty white line drop links?
Any ideas?
Cheers

If you've fitted the full kit Jimmy I would think it's unlikely, but not impossible, to be the links failing.
What about rear drive shafts or wheel bearing?
Just guessing as I have no experience of this other than what I have posted.

Start with the easy bits like bushes and nuts and bolts and work on from there.
Hey,
Yeah fitted the full kit and was all brand new, the rear drive shafts are okay and not a wheel bearing couldnt find any play in it.
I can make the knock happen at low speeds if i brake lightly then let off you hear a knock. Sounds like from the rear passenger side. Its not the exhaust either i checked that too...nothing has fallen off yet though so i spose thats a bonus...lol
