Replacing Front Droplinks Instructions
    What you need:
  • Socket Set & Extension Bar
  • 14mm & 15mm Spanners
  • Torque Wrench
  • Trolley Jack & Axle stands
  • Angle Grinder or Hack Saw maybe required!

  • New Droplinks
    What To Do:
  1. Jack up the front of the car and safely secure on axle stands and remove both front wheels
  2. The Droplink is located behind the suspension strut and is held in place with two 14mm nuts

  3. Using a 14mm spanner between the balljoint and the mounting point to stop the joint turning round and a 14mm socket on the nut you should be able to undo the nut, you may find that over time that nut will have become corroded & rusted solid, so a hacksaw or angle grinder may be required to remove the nuts
  4. Once the nuts are off the droplink can be removed and binned
  5. Fitting a new droplink is a straight forward reverse of removal, if Camskill upgraded droplinks are used a 15mm Spanner and socket will be required
  6. Finally fully tighten the nuts up with a torque wrench to a setting of 39Nm

    7. Job Complete
