anti roll bar drop links
 
I need to replace the front drop links on my 75

Are there any upgrades available i cannot see much online. I want something that is going to last but also maybe help improve the handling

I wouldn't mind trying to remove some of the roll from the car especially going around corners so if anyone can suggest anything that may help that too

What I do with mine is, lever the rubber away slightly & pack with grease, because a lot of aftermarket drop links don't have enough:cool:

I'm no technical expert, but if you want to reduce cornering roll I would have thought you need to be looking at uprated springs and dampers (maybe ZT items?) rather than the drop links. If you just want some quality droplinks, I've just bought a pair of German made Meyle brand (just search on ebay) which look very well made and strong and have a four year guarantee.

I'll always suggest DMGRS for these, simply because I fitted some over 3 yrs ago and they were still good when I changed the car. Double the price of some, but last 4 times longer.

I prefer Delphi ones myself, I’ve tried loads of different ones over the years and the Delphi ones hold up very well.

As above, my experience with Delphi has been excellent. The previous set lasted 46k miles/4 years, so Delphi fitted again last year.

For the next change, I have purchased Meyle HD drop links. These come with a 4-year warranty.

Fitted a pair of Delphi ones at mot , March 2017 . One failed October 2017, second just failed this week . Have ordered genuine one from DMGRS.

The ones I used were genuine Delphi. The new ones are genuine Meyle.

Is the one you ordered genuine Rover UK OEM? I would suspect not! I believe those are genuine Chinese MG items.

All items are genuine - the question is genuine what? :};)

Plus 1 for Meyle.

Yes the ones from DMGRS are the MG ones which have very good feedback and I believe a 2 year parts warranty . My previous were genuine Delphi which I know from working in the parts industry are not as good as they used to be so as they have failed so soon I have chosen not to use again . In the parts industry we class anything from a vehicle manufacturer as a genuine part . Any parts made by other manufacturers may be O.E spec (original specification) but are classed as after market parts .
