Anti Roll Bar Links

[ash601]

hi there does any one know any good makes of anti roll bar links i brought some from ebay,euro carparts and carparts 4 less but they only seem to last about 3 months some of them not even that

Better quality ones should be the ones dealers sell. They may be a bit dearer than elsewhere but if the originals lasted more than 3 months they are worth it. Unless you are doing a very high mileage, only 3 months might suggest a problem causing them to fail - did you try taking any back for a refund.

When you say they fail, do you mean they pop out of the ball joint or are you fitting the plastic ones which easily break ?

 

If you are breaking the plastic ones regularly then my next question would be "are there many speed humps in your area" as hitting them too hard does play havoc with the drop links.

 

If you are popping the drop links out of their ball joints with no speed humps around, then it may be worth getting your steering geometry checked. I do have experience of a vehicle that had been damaged repaired and it turn out the front anti roll bar was slightly bent. That was putting more strain on one particular drop link and it kept failing.

 

Just a thought to consider
