ARB'S 7 DROP LINKS

Having read the how to guides for front ARB bushes (getting a slight clonk over potholes) I wonder if I should change the drop links at the same time as the bushes?

Quite straight forward to change. Did mine when I did the ARB bushes.

Thanks for the replies, are the drop links just a matter of undoing bolts top and bottom or is there more to it than that?

Advanced Factors do a kit with everything you need for about £50 which is what I used, HD Drop Links and Genuine ARB bushes

All done, ARB bushes were well knackered and they were the original thinner ones. Drop links were on their way out but not totally gone but a good job to do while I was at it.
Test drive revealed that the annoying clonk when going over rough roads has gone. Hurrah!
