These links have to be able to move out of vertical. The only links that do that AFAIK are the Whiteline ones. All the other one seem to act as droop restrictors.

When a droplink is bolted at 90 degrees to the ARB all is fine, however as soon as 1 wheel moves up or down, the droplink will move to a different angle to the ARB.

Poly behaves in a different way to rubber and doesn't like to be compressed. I suppose behaviour like a 'liquid in a solid state' can be used to explain. So when the droplink moves away from the 90 degree angle, the poly needs somewhere to go. If the holes where the poly sits in the droplink are machined straight, with a straight bush inserted, the poly has nowhere to go and will start acting like a suspension movement restrictor.

The Whiteline droplinks have a radiused hole where the poly sits and the poly itself is rounded as well. This allows for movement outside the 90 degree angle.

Difficult to explain verbally but a while ago somebody posted some pictures here to do with this problem......
