Re: The Guide to shorter drop links
Thanx for the helpful thread
I may be fitting a koni + H&R setup soon and i believe the drop links need to be changed
I just got a quote on mondeo drop links, locally they work out to about 18pounds each which sounds ok due to this being less than the uk pricing and i wont need to pay for shipping
What i would like to know if anyone has pics of these being installed?
Also the speedbox website doesnt seem to sell these items any longer

Re: The Guide to shorter drop links
does anyone know the length of the ones shorter than the mondeo, i was looking into it at work a few weeks back and took some measurements of some that fitted some other cars etc and they were shorter than the mondeo ones. if someone can find a suitable measurement i should be able to work out which car they were off as i was looking at ones for some older jap motors which have the same style droplink but ranging from 150mm total length up to the size of the mondeo ones which are nearer 300mm iirc id have to check what ive got wrote down at work, its probably only these that the other companies are supplying anyway

Re: The Guide to shorter drop links
What year Mondeo links did you get? Metal or plastic? What year?
I got some 2001 ones a few weeks ago and they were about half an inch, maybe a bit more shorter than standard

I just cut a section out of the middle of the mondeo ones and welded them back, worked out around 2" shorter than standard...

Re: The Guide to shorter drop links
Please can somebody help, i have HK AK street coilovers currently fitted and they have been for the past year.
Since fitting them they have always made the horrible 'clunking noise' when steering, especially with heavy steering.
I have fitted the shorter drop links and this has raised the driveshafts well away from the ARB yet the clunking persists.
It sounds like the springs themselves spinning around, someone at the local garage said it was something to do with the top mounts but they were tight :S im so confused and pretty dis-heartened please can anybody help me ?
Thanks
