Any help? I've just had some garage fitted drop links fitted to my 51 plate TD4. Within 3 days they have snapped!!

Not sure what make has anyone got any suggestions for after market products....or shall I just go genuine LR parts?

Thanks guy and gals!

snapped! - they must be very bad quality. Even the cheap ebay ones I have used will last a year or so.

First, make sure you buy quality & definitely avoid rubbish like britpart. Next make sure your antiroll bar hasn't moved, the collars which keep it central rust & fall off which means the bar can move an inch or two over to one side. Finally, make sure your garage doesn't use an air wrench when torqueing them up.

How good are your shock absorbers ?

They might need replacing.
