Best way to change drop links

Featured Replies

Evening all, I've changed drop links before but was just wondering if there is an easy/fast way to do them? I've only done it by jacking one side up at a time just wondering if it would be better to jack both up at the same time? Cheers.

Much safer doing each side in turn, if the nuts won't undo use a grinder.

One side at a time, jack car up with trolley jack then get the normal jack to raise the the hub up and should come out easier :)

+1 did mine this way, first time ever and was easy as.

Choc rear wheels

Crack off wheel bolts (dont undo just release each one in turn and nip back up)

Jack both sides up and support on stands

Remove wheels one side at a time, remove droplinks and replace with new and torque up

Tighten wheels back on then lower till tyres touch floor with some preasure and torque up

Totally lower car clear tools and move car fwd and back to let stuff settle.

Easiest way as the arb is not under any stress like it is doing one side at a time.

The nuts will probably be seized and a ****** to crack off. So just get a grinder on it from the start :)

As josh said. Grind them off . Saves yourself a lot of time trying to undo them as mine were seized solid
