Just had the MOT done today & it passed with no probs - however got an advisory that both front drop links are worn.

I've noticed recently that suspension seemed 'crashy' - not sure if this is related to the drop links .

Car has done 87k. Any one know if replacing the drop links is an involved job ?

Thx Toby

i take it that your car is a 210 chassis
you will need a torque socket to undo the link from the bottom arm's and a big pair of gripps to remove from roll bar, this can be fiddly if not doing on a ramp also fiddly too refit to roll bar i have a large spoon type tool at work which makes this a synch
