Quick question - drop links

Recommended Posts

Hi very quick one, I just stuffed up the thread in my N/S/F droplink so I can't get the nut back on, is it safe to remove the droplink completely and still drive until I get a new one?

Define safe :scare:

 

 

Yes the car will still drive - no you won't damage anything BUT you are disconnecting the ARB from side to side which will affect the handling, so I would suggest you drive slowly and carefully if you have to drive. It will mess with the cornering the most.

 

So can you drive without it - yes

 

Should you - IMHO NO!

As what Keyser has said:

 

Plenty drop links and nuts in stock Kyle, and good to go same/next day.

 

Alex. :)

 

Thanks Alex :thumbs:

 

I'm gonna get a guy to try repair the first 2mm of thread or whack it off as there's about 5-6mm spare when the nuts on tomorrow, if that doesn't work ill give you a shout tomorrow night ;)

I managed to grind off the first 2 threads and source a new nut from the floor of a mechanics :lol: so for now luckily I don't need new drop links, although I know I will in the not too distant future and I know where to get them ;)
