No powerflex bushes on mine, at least not droplinks, only upper bushes. Just fit ordinary ones, particularly if you fear them snapping at which point they'd go bouncing off down the road. They're not that expensive. Even VW commercial do them. There are some places I'd fit powerflex but its not droplinks.

Evening Chaps ,

Well finally got my ARB and Droplinks on , hurrah ! :D

All went ok , assembled all off the van . Powerflex for ARB and
Rubber for Drop Links .

Took a bit of figuring out but Drop Links went in dead easy to casting ,
then secured ARB clamps , then Links , all,ok ..

Bit of a squeeze as I was without Jack or Stands , mind you I'm told I'm thin !

Thanks for help , again , must owe you lot a gallon by now ! :ok

Atb,

Hi CovKid ,

Yes , been out and van now a lot firmer on braking and cornering ! :D

Keeping hold of the old original Drop Links , to clean up , drill , tap and
insert studs . Hopefully I'll never need them , but I'm a b....r for not
throwing things away . Too old to change now tho. .

Hi,

I'm updating my suspension a bit and I'm planning on refitting the anti roll bar. however, as I have to install new cranked drop links - I now do not know how it should be assembled correctly and I cannot find any pictures on the internet or in the manual of a fully assembled anti roll bar. The anti roll bar is slightly curved one way and I'm not sure which way round I should mount the bar.. any ideas or help would be appreciated. :ok

It's OK, I think I have figured it out...
