Drop Links

Post by stuarts »

Hi all,

I have some wear in my front and rear drop links.
Any pointers to best place for uprated bushes?

Thanks

VW Heritage or Design 911 are probably your easiest routes for Powerflex or similar front bushes. Not sure there are any alternatives for the rear. TBH, If there were, I don't think they would make a huge difference to the feel anyway.

I couldn’t find bushes for the rear when I did my resto.
Type911 (Matt) is your best contact for replacement rear drop links.

Your front drop links look like aftermarket adjustable ones. The bottom ones look like rose joints??

Yes, as Jonathan said, your front arb & drop links look like to be the Weltmeister version.

Picture from an old Automotion catalogue:

I can't remember if they use std Porsche bushes at the top or not - try Rose Passion as they're agents for Weltmeister .
