Drop link change
« on: 27 May 2010, 11:06:06 »
I got an MoT 'advisory' that my n/s drop link needs changing.

Looking at the maintenance guides on this site this job is linked to as wishbone change. According to Haynes though the link appears a pretty straightforward stand-alone job.

Any hints 'n' tips guys?

Cheers,
Gaz

Any half decent motor factor for a replacement I guess? And what does IIRC mean?
