ARB drop links

[joe-motion]

After removing the ARB yesterday the drop links look like they have had better days.

Seen these however not cheap

I have also seen a few made from Rosejoints etc, what's the consensus? Is Stainless an option?

Hi

I have the rose joint ones fitted to mine with no issues at all. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I got them from

Cheers

You can make up your own from rose joints and threaded bar. Is stainless ok? The original links are 6mm round bar so 8mm or above in stainless will be fine (or if the originals are 8mm use 10mm). Bar iscommon and available from Toolstation / Screwfix or a local metal supplier.

As for rose joints - Mcaskill Motorsport has good stock and an online shop.

Rose joints work better than the original rubber joints, but for them to last you need to use good quality PTFE linered joints and ideally with dust covers fitted. Merlin Motorsport down at Combe sell (or at least used to sell) mounting clamps that can be used to attach the joint to the thick section of the bar if you want to increase the effective stiffness, although it needs some care to get the geometry of the drop link right.

Or just cough up for the Racetech ones and save a lot of hassle




By the time you've bought four good quality spherical joints, lock nuts threaded rod etc. I doubt you'll save anything, ? Here's £16 just for the boots
