Hello everyone,
Im doing a project on impreza performance and the problems involved with drop links.
Just wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers about the problems occured with the plastic rear drop links on the 1993 -2002 impreza. (Are only the back plastic?)

Idea of life time of the part and the location of the failure in the failed part. Any help would be awesome.
Cheers.

Dan

 

Errr - do you mean the 1993-2000 Classic impreza?

 

yes mate, just trying to find out some failures that have occured, gonna run some Finite Element Analysis on the plastic version drop link and im just trying to get some info on where the failures occur. Cheers

the only problem i had with my drop links were the bushes went apart from that no other faults

 

The plastic ones are horrible. I'm not sure its worth the time on FEA, just get some aftermarket uprated replacements and forget about it.

 

Hello mate, cheers for the reply. Im doing the FEA for my Dissertation at University. Just wanting to find out if anyone has had them fail on them and whereabouts. Cheers
Dan
