Whats and Where is the Drop Link
« on: 25 January 2009, 17:02:16 »
Next silly Q...whats the drop link, where is it...

Is it the other end of the steering rod to the steering idler? Or the bit that connects to? Or something else completely??  :y

Not changed one that I'm aware of so dunno where it is, just know its probably easy to change and Omegas are prone to failing on them...

Thanks Hotel :) Although the red writing is hard to see lol But will store that pic away for future use :)

I think you may mean anti-rollbar drop links?

They are on the ends of the rollbar and join it to the chassis each end has the same bearing that’s fitted to track rods.

Look like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-OMEGA-FRONT-STABALISER-ANTI-ROLL-BAR-LINK-x1_W0QQitemZ270333147817QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090121?IMSfp=TL090121126003r33779
