Drop links

Hello all

I'm wanting to change the ARB bushes and drop links on my D3. The ARB bushes were last replaced at 4 years old and its now 8 and a half years old and knocking a little. I thought while I'm at it I'd change the drop links, which I think are original.

I've found that there are standard and heavy duty drop links so I'm wanting to know whats the difference and what do you recommend fitting?

Cheers

Following the excellent instructions from ridgeback_moor I've successfully changed front and rear ARB bushes and the drop links. The rear drop links were a right pain seized solid resulted in me cutting them out.

The unfortunate part was accidentally catching the edge of the nearside rear brake pipe, the result which I didn't notice immediately was the D3 loosing a lot of brake fluid. Shouldn't be too hard to sort I hope, mate is going to make me a new piece of brake pipe as luckily its only a short piece.
