Guys I've spotted another suspension issue on my car.
The main problem (broken AST spring) is in place to be sorted tomorrow but just seen something else that needs attention.

In the first picture below you can see the drop link sitting pretty vertical. All looks about right to me other than all the grime and surface rust ofcourse.



In the next picture (below) the drop link is sitting way off vertical.




What's going on here ? Is it just the drop links that need doing or is it more serious like a bent ARB.

Also,
Just measured the ride height of the car at the front.
The side with the dodgey looking drop link is sitting almost 10mm lower than the other side.
The broken spring is on the side with the normal looking DL so now I'm thinking the broken spring is putting everything out.

Do your spring first they will probably level out but if not try to slide the ARB over in it's clamps to level it out,you may need to slacken the clamps & spray some WD40 around.

Thanks very much buddy.
I'm gonna try and get some new drop links tomorrow anyway but will try what you said.
Thanks again fella.
