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.
will let you know

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