ZMANALEX Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 As you all know the OEM sway bar drop links suck. They are noisy and wear out very quickly, especially if you have upgraded your sway bars and lowered your supension. Well help is at hand, and yes I know that they have been available for a while but I have just got my mitts on a set and they are a massive improvement over OEM. Because they are adjustable they can be set with "free" or no load, which gives you perfect ball joint alignment, something which was not possible with the OEM set up. I will be fitting them shortly and will report back after my 1st track day of 2009. Quote

Lexx Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Im starting to get some horrendous squeeking from the o/s/r when in uneven surfaces. Somethign which has gradually got worse. Got a distinct feeling this is whats actually causing it. Maybe time for an upgrade! Quote

ZMANALEX Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 If there is enough interest in these then perhaps a group buy could be a good option. Notes of interest could be posted up by interested parties and then a decision will be made if it is viable. Cheers, Alex. Quote
Ian Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Are these the ones from Adam? I think i'll be needing a set soon Quote
marzman Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Depending on price, count me in for the group buy... 1. Marzman 2. 3. Quote

Ian Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Im in for a set Will hopefully get rid of my click:blush: Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Im in for a set Will hopefully get rid of my click:blush: did these get rid of your click? i have a click on moving away and originally thought it was the clicking axle problem, but on discussion with people at the CS meet the noise happens on weight transfer from front to rear so i'm wondering if it might be the drop links. whats the best way of testing this when you have the car up on a ramp?

I still haven't bought a set They are on the list behind some other things Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 i keep putting it off, does it sound like a likely cause of the problem? any tests i can do to check? i may just get the standard nissan ones for £27 a pair and test, not an expensive out lay if wrong i suppose. Quote
