my bloody front arb droplink has broke,been knocking last couple of weeks and finally broke this week,had arb cable tied to frame, was told fine to drive until getting repaired.
any of you guys had same problem?

 

Yes - had the offside front one break a few months ago. Drove like that for a few weeks until I had time to get it fixed.

 

just had my trackin done today an found out mines broke too!! not that expensive on ebay though.

 

Mine seemed fine, then the MOT tester took the car down the road to test brakes and come back 5 minutes later and said it failed because of arb drop link. looked under the car and it was hanging off, it wasn't before i left home and it knocked like f*ck on the way home.

Easy enough to replace yourself, they are £50 from dealers.

 

Hi
The n/s/f drop link has broken twice on me in the last yr or I blame the dreadfull state of our roads plus the 1001 speed bumps here there and everywhere. You can get the solid plastic drop links for about £20 a pair off ebay if its the metal ball joint type there about £30 a pair. There really easy to fit yourself some ramps and a decent socket set and should be done and dusted in 20mins if the bolts come off nice and easy.
Just to let you know the CDF Racing have a group buy on the uprated metal drop links at a steal for £120 for front and rear inc all nuts and bolts.

Hope that helps
