Justin Bieber Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Amayama.com do OEM drop links for about £30 each from the UAE, or Febest copies for £5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Don't fit Poly, just replace OEM with OEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 I've ordered the poly bushes for drop links they was only £18 on whifbitz I don't see why not because they are going to be harder and past longer I'm thinking when money is right to poly bush everything not sure yet will have to read some reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 You mean you have ordered poly bushes for the anti roll bar mounts, surely? I would go genuine Toyota for drop links, the quality is assured. Or have some made with decent rod ends, if you want the best for your baby. Won't be cheap though, stainless PTFE lined quaility rod ends are £££'s and then you have to fab the links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 I've gone whifbitz for drop links and they are genuine drop links , I've ordered poly bushes incase old ones need replacing . Now my next step is what jack to order 2.5 ton with 4 axle stands or the 3 ton which looks a lot better and has had a lot more people buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I posted quite detailed tips on how to get the nuts on the drop links undone, you might find it with the search facility. You MUST kill the loctite on the nuts with heat, a lot of heat applied fast. You MUST clean the hex females out completely. You MUST use a top quality Allen socket or key that's the right size. If you neglect any of this and the internal hex rounds off you will have to grind them off. Doing so in the restricted space without doing more damage is also tricky.

Chris Bailey Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 ^^^^ Listen to this man! Also is you're not confident in doing the work, then dont! Because you could end up causing damage or rounding the head of the bolts off which is something you dont want to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 My advise if they are original, dont waste your time trying to undo them, just get a cutting tool out You will round the hex off just looking at it lol But seriously follow Chris Wilson advise if you do try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Sweet haha I'm confident that I'm not a retard [emoji13] u recommend putting lock nut and loctite on after? They didn't even supply one [emoji17] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I just fit new flanged nuts and tighten them firmly, I don't use Loctite on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conorj Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 You will round the hex off just looking at it lol When doing the fronts on my car I got one side off easy enough, the other one took some persuasion with a grinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-tt Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Just cut the old drop links off with an angle grinder if they spin or a hack saw but that'll take ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 I just fit new flanged nuts and tighten them firmly, I don't use Loctite on them.

Alfie Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just wondering what the exhaust , it's got a blitz nur spec r on the rear , what would be the best thing to do with the rest of the pipes ? There's a exhaust place near me thinking of getting nice new middle fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Car is also left outside on a driveway and as much as I'd love to get it indoors I don't have a garage or rich enough to rent somewhere , I'm looking at a storm force quality cover anyone recommend ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max5437 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Car covers end up inducing more scratches with the movement of the cover over the car in the wind. With regard to the exhaust why do you think the middle needs replacing out of interest? Local to us you have Hayward and Scott who aren't cheap but fantastic and often missed locally in favour of Pipecraft (If your going the bluewater meet drop me a pm if you fancy cruising up there together) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Your car cover shouldn't scratch if its clean and its put on a clean car. The storm force ones are elasticated and are tight on, with straps that go underneath and hold it tightly in place. I could well imagine a poorly stored loosely fitting dirty car/cover causing scratches. I had my car left outside for years without a cover and it was ok, but you have to fight off the bird muck and things like that... that's probably your biggest threat. I wouldn't worry to much about the wind/rain generally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
