Fitting Droplinks
i have a 95 classic,have just bought some poly bushes for the front/rear so while at it will fit new poly drop links
the rear looks easy enough,the front tho, hmm
from what i can see,the original is these
yet the new ones are
the fronts being on the bottom right ???
so,i guess i supply my own bolts and replace, do they line up well enoguh going from the old style to these new styles ???
cheers

With the whiteline kit, I fitted, the bolts are included. Jack the car up and support on axle stands then use the jack to move the suspension to allow safe removal of the old dropo links then alignment of the holes on the new items.

Looks like you bought replacements for a car that has plastic front links originally. You'll probably find that you need the same size bolt hole on both sides of the front drop link. It might be easier to buy the correct ones that come with fitting kit.

see,this is where im confused,the small pic is what i have,the ones in the colour pic on the bottom right are the ones supplied (havent bought them yet) so did some classics have what i have and some come with plastic versions of the ones in the colour pic, so they are no good for me as i have the balljoint type and need to swap like for like ??????

The Classic could have plastic front links or ball jointed front links from the factory. Your picture shows the replacements for the plastic links.
These are the ones I use as replacement of the ball jointed links.

cheers,so the plastic solid ones can replace the balljoint type ?
but by the looks of those whiteline ones you need a spacer or 2 etc to get them to fit,wonder if the cheaper poly ones from flo flex come with spacers/bolts,only one way to find out, i`ll ask !
