Rear drop links knocking...
Do I have to fit whole new drop links, or are there rubbers / bushes I can change.
The actual metal part of the drop links will be fine, no? |
Are you sure that they're to blame? My fronts were gone but my rears were fine last winter when I replaced them. You can use a crowbar to stress them while on a lift and see if they are good.
To replace, no need to get OEM. Rockauto sells Moog brand links w/ lifetime warranty for $25 ea. They were identical to the OEMs I removed at a quarter the price. Make sure to support and lock out your suspension when doing the R&R, otherwise your camber will be off (if it's set up like the fronts -- ask how I know). |
Thanks. Not 100% sure the noise is coming from the links. But am 100% there's a fair amount of play in them.
Links aren't adjustable - not sure how they could effect the camber...how does that work? |
Again, the rears may be different, but on the fronts, the drop link mounting bolt is also the bolt that mounts the strut tower to the camber plate, remove it w/o supporting the control arm and boom!!, the whole thing will drop. Then you'll have to realign it, which I did by eyeball and ruler matching the other side. Still need to go get a real alignment though.

Thanks.
Duly noted. |
