Adjustable drop links rear

katy81 · 16 Jan 2024 at 16:22

Mot guy said there was play.

Having trouble finding them for my car in the correct length.

Are adjustable ones OK? I'm not lowering it or anything. I just want it to be OK.

Ford mondeo st220 3 litre 2004

It seems the petrol ones like mine have different links compared to the diesels and smaller engined versions

So am I best just getting adjustable ones?

Just been to ford mazda, tried to flog 250 or 255mm ones which I assume are standard mondi or tcdi?

Would it be good to do rear arb bushes at the same time?

Are they fancy for the 220?

ARB bushes are ST220 specific too. Both front & rear.

Can't remember off the top of my head if you have to drop the subframe to get at them, the fronts you do. Can't remember the rear as i did my entire car whilst replacing all the brake lines so subframe was off anyway.

Just had my back wheel off and it definitely looks possible with just the wheel off and probably the drop link. Looks like 2 bolts just clamp them on.

Did u poly or oem?

I went OEM. Mine is sat on uprated shocks & springs so it's firm enough for the UK's awful roads.

What did you put on the front?

Did it have the wrong ones?

katy81 · 31 Jan 2024 at 18:39

Do 220s have bump stops or spring isolaters?

katy81 · 31 Jan 2024 at 20:28

Then why did I get told they were right ffs

I'm going to hazard a guess that if you measure them they aren't 223/225mm & nearer 255?

They are on the car now

I think I measured them and they were shorter 225ish which is why I assumed they were right.

The car certainly seems better with them on. The rear knock has gone over bumps.

Did I put front drop links on the rear?
