Noticed a banging noise on front of my kamper while driving.l found one of the drop links has snapped,Is it better to buy a new after market one or a second hand one and replace bushes on both sides.

New. I'm on my way to work so haven't time to hunt for them but Band B sell some really well made drop links at a very good price. This lists the sleeve only but get in touch with them or search for the listing on ebay.

Cranked version:

Straight version (with all bushes) :

Latter is a bargain considering everything is there (ones I bought) and they seemed more heavy duty than ones I took off. I imagine your handling making a tight turn (like a sideroad) is abominable now. It'll wallow like an old settee
Never had any issues with BandB stuff - other than CV joints which lasted six months. They were not GKN/Lobro though.

Cup facing away from bush rather than the way it looks like it ought to go

The shoulders face upwards, so the top one faces away from the bush, the bottom one to the bush.
