droplinks rose joints?

Post by omega »

my front drop links are knocking again so its time to replace.yes i know its only a 15 minute job and they are cheap but i was thinking if they had rose joints on they would last for ages.
so
is this a good idea?
i know the price would be higher but i think it would pay for its self
am i missing something in why it couldnt be done?.
any one any thoughts on this?

There's loads similar, the C5 is the same too. Most cars seem to have a similar set up, I saw one on the shelf in the shop t'other day and I thought it must be PSA but it had Opel written on it. I dunno, I remember the days when the roll bar used to be connected directly to the lower arm :roll:

I've heard about them off my mate, it sounds like the manufacturers have given up any pretence that they have any kind of durability :frown:

Next: MAF sensors made out of plasticine.
