Hi, 6 months ago I replaced both front

Anti Roll Bar Drop Links on my 2005 TD4.
Both have since started knocking again. I didn't buy cheap ones and I'm not off-roading in it.

Is there anything else that could be causing these to go please? The original ones lasted many years more.

Thanks, Paul​

Hi

Normal roads with speed bumps and holes are a nightmare. You can break something easily.

The suspension act as a whole, new drop links with old suspension parts, will not last that much.

I think they are a service item now so I'd go for the cheaper ones.

It's pot luck. We've had expensive one fail, and cheap brands that last . . . . . Main problem I've found with the cheaper brands, is badly made hex on the end of the thread to hold the spindle when fitting them.
