![]() If you look at the lower arms you will see them passing through, it's the easiest job on the whole of the rear. If you have a look at them you'll slap yourself for doubting your ability. If it took ten min's to do both sides you'd be miffed.

![]() As Saga Lout says, they are easy enough to do, but it all depends on how rusty they are. Give them a good soak in plus gas some days before having a go.

![]() Mine are looking pretty grim when I disconnected them to change a spring. It is access to the upper mount which is the problem, unless I am missing a trick?

![]() I can not remember if I did an how to on these ? Select and purchase your drop link Fig 1 ![]() Jack the rear of the car up and add an axle stand after removing the wheel Fig 2/3 ![]() ![]() With the wheel off looking through the wheel arch you see the drop link that as to be removed Fig 4 ![]() First remove the nut that holds the drop link to the anti roll bar Fig 5 ![]() You will also need to use a spanner to hold the flat on the link Fig 6/7 ![]() ![]() Once you have the drop link/anti roll bar nut removed you can the remove the bolt through the arm Fig 8 ![]() Use to good sockets to remove the bolts and nut Fig9/10 ![]() ![]() Now you have removed the old drop link you can fit the new drop link in reverse Fig 11 ![]() If you are not using a new bolt & nut copper grease the old one before fitting Fig 12 ![]() Offer the link through the arm add bolt & nut, fit the drop link to the anti roll bar and tighten up the nuts and bolts. Fig 13 ![]() Refit the wheel move on to the other drop link fit these in pairs cheers Arctic.

![]() They are indeed handed, and those two look to be for the same side.
Are they branded? Where did you get them from? I would not return just one, I would return them both. Anyone can make a mistake, but they should be packed either individually marked L or R, or packed as a pair.
