Drop Links

[850 2.5 10v]

Had a rattle from the front end.

Upon investigation it turned out to be the drop links - too much play.

Being done tomorrow.

Anything I should specifically do while having these done?

Cheers

i have a rattle from the front end of mine always thought it was the top suspension mounts. How do i check for the drop links?

lift the front end up both sides when in the air reach in and if they move without effort/freely they need replaced

do you need both sides up at the same time to change them?

I didn't when I snapped one after a track day last year, had no problems with it............ the other side is rattling now!

cool, i can see them coming off pretty easy, but wasn't sure how hard it would be getting both of the new ends back in

Sorry, I mis-read your first post, I would lift both wheels off the ground, that way your not twisting the arb.

10 minute job to replace them both, if your half handy with tools :D

5 if you have the use of ramps and an air gun :B_thumb:
