Diabolical Droplinks
 
Hi everyone,
I've started getting fed up with my 75 eating through droplinks like there is no tomorrow, last Tuesday I had my second set of droplinks within the space of a couple of moths and the car today started yet again knocking the droplinks were replaced with supodlsedly good delphi ones and the top bearings were done as well any segustion on a permanent solution

I fitted MEYLE HD drop links about 8 months ago and they are still fine. 4 year cover with them and they appear well made. Available on EBay.

Ours have a 4 year warranty, and very good track record :)

Delphi droplinks? Load of c*#p. Just changed mine. Long story short:-I now have one Brandnew Delphi fitted to the near side, and one of my old original droplinks fitted to the offside. The old one has done around 80,000 miles. My betting is that the Delphi will give up the ghost before the old 80,000 miles original one. Will report back when anything developes.

Thanks for your replies ! It's not even the money or the warranty I'm just fed up with them and having to change them so often the car was knock free this time for 3 whole days just not acceptable really I think im going to disconnect them and take the car for spin just to verify that the knock isn't coming from sowhere else but fairly certain that's the droplinks again as I've become very with their knock in my 75 ownership so far

I've recently fitted Moog droplinks so we'll see how they fare.

I fitted MEYLE HD drop links about 20 months ago, about 15k miles

No problems at all
