johngreen537 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Double post sorted. MG Drop links are far more reliable too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottravenhill Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Imterestimg. one of my fronts snapped clean in half too. I thought it was just a one off. I've got an mg rear arb and links but not put it on yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I did put it down to the car being so low at the front. They do look quite strained. But the bumpy roads dont help, leicester is awful dnt know about any where else.Mg rears look far superior, but I also remember a friends mb1 had mg style drop links as standard. Dont know why they decided to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottravenhill Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 My car ain't even lowered but I am running 205 40 17s so there ain't no flex in them sidewalls. not sure that should make a difference really. Yeah potholes are terrible around sutton coldfield Birmingham, I have to pass thru to drop Mrs home so I can blame her anyways. Haha Nah, think it was just a cheap non genuine drop link.
