What is this part?

[Dillaz_k]

Was wondering what this part is pciture attatched.

Makes a noise when i turn the wheel to the right ( creaking)  60%+ more when stationary.

I wobbled the metal rod theres play and makes the same noise when turning (green) the other side is solid.

What is the other parts connected to it top and at the  bottom (blue)

 

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Theres a similar rubber at top behind the nut is this a bush? (Blue) wondering does the nuts need tightning to get rid of play or the rubber booting need replacing is there a bush in there or is it just a boot?

Anti roll bar drop links, cheap as chips to replace.

Does it come as a complete unit? All one piece highlighted in green and blue?

Nice one pal thanks for the help 👍

Best to change both or just the faulty side?

Both. Because they worn out (almost) equally. But since it's easy job and not concerned with wheel alignment etc after replacement- no problem to replace just broken one.

both of mine went within a few weeks of upgrading my arbs. i think it was due to the increased stress through faster cornering as a result of the better handling.....

What car do you have and what did you upgrade to? A thicker arb? @encephalopathy

 

Also does anybody know if there is any difference between 5Q0411315b

And 5Q0411315a 

 

One on my car is the B seems like a hollow bar compared to the A ive bought the A one as it looks better quality but both fit my car skoda octavia mk3 vrs 2014

 

Is a solid bar better than hollow bar? Pictures attatched

best upgrade to date, probably better than a remap to be honest. sort handling before performance.

Id imagine solid is better The one on your car looks twisted are they meant to look like that? 

on my last few cars they have always been solid, and i usually upgraded to meyle HD ones.

@sessions yeah the part ending b is twisted if you look online

 

@encephalopathy nice one pal
