ARB drop links
Just changed my anti-roll bar drop links, and I thought this time I would try the Milners ones instead of the eBay type.
My first impression of the Milners ones were that they seemed to be much better quality - the rubber seal around the ball joint was much thicker (that was what had failed on the old ones, meaning instead of grease they were full of dust and consequently badly worn and loose). They also appeared to be engineered instead of drop forged, with a 14mm hex shaft to allow a spanner to prevent twisting when tightening the connection to the wishbone. They were also longer on this shaft, which meant the 17mm nut could be started with the fingers instead of having to attempt to hold the lower bush and washer in place while inserting the nut inside a socket on to the bottom of the shaft. All in all a much better design, whether twice the price will ensure a longer life remains to be seen! |
