What's this called

Post by **pigglywig** » 12 May 2008, 18:53

i am a newby to mending my transporter but, armed with a haynes manual, i am determined to give it a go.. Something has snapped in the wheel suspension. I can't find a name or part number for it, other than 'support' and can't seem to find one. The bar in question joins the anti-roll bar to the the radius rod. Can anyone help please? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks. Hopefully i'll be able to get one. I looked on the wiki but obviously didn't know what i was doing. Let's hope my first time doing the job myself will turn out ok.

Waits in the shadows for the 'how do i get the drop link back on' thread

I did mine yast year.

Get new rubbers if you can. Fit the doughnut shaped on into the link, not the roll bar. screw and puch the 2 together with some fairy liquid to lubricate.

I ended up taking the roll bar off so u could put the link on the floor and stand on the bend and screw the roll bar into it.

If it's the thread which has broken off. Then I just drilled and tapped mine and fitted a M12 bolt instead.
