Drop links

[froggy]

Hi, probably an obvious question.........but what is or are, the job of the Drop Links ? cheers Terry.

They are part of the anti roll system and link the suspension strut to the anti roll bar, which transfers suspension forces between axles, thus reducing the roll on cornering. On the Activa models the drop links were replaced with an active anti roll hydraulic ram, thus eliminating roll almost completely.

One each side (at the front); basically a rod about 15" long with a ball joint at each end. One ball joint stud goes through the hole in the end of the roll bar, the other goes through a bracket on the strut.

Two different designs - the difference is in the alignment of the ball-ends; the two types aren't interchangeable.

Two different qualities - the cheap ones don't last nearly as long as the more expensive ones made by Lemforder (said to be the same as the Citroen original ones).
