ford mondeo drop links

[noone]

This solution is specific for the Polo 9n / 9n3. Don't expect it would suit the Mk4 Golf / A3.

could some1 post another pic please? or explain how these are installed on your cars...it looks like the link attaches to the coilover?
it doesn't seem like these would work on mk4/a3 since our links attach to the subframe.
cheers!

Hey man

Although I have no pics, look at the car like this. Go outside, and turn your steering wheel full left until you can see the suspention inside the front right(or left if you turn the wheel in the other direction). as you look from the rear of the front tyre, you'll notice a link that connects the front sway bar vertically to the upper suspention(Mcphersonn) Strut. This is the drop link we are refering to.

Unsure if this part will work for a Mk4/A3 though.

Has anyone seen this option yet?

Just saw them on the site whilst I was getting quotes on other parts

i'm interested in getting a pair as well, my sway bar is too close to the drive shaft and the knocking/rubbing sound is irritating to say the least.

my fellow polo owners in malaysia bought ford mondeo 93-00 drop links and they fit as well.

just recieved mine in the mail today. just wondering how much would it cost to get them fitted? im going to book my car in for a service soon and might ask them to do that job as well

Just looking at it, the way I would go about it is just leave the wheels on the ground, turn the wheel until the Drop link is exposed to work on, and then replace it. Why I would do it lik this is that the sway bar is in its normal position, making the parts easier to line up when fitting.
If the car is raised, this means the suspention is slack, and will drop to its lowest point, meaning you are going to have to lift the suspention back up to have the components line up.
Like I said, this is just how I would do it.

Mate, you can do this easily by yourself of you have a socket set. Using the above method I changed my drop links in about 30min. You don't even have to put the car up on stands.

I dont know if it has been mentioned before on here but Whiteline makes bearing adjustable links in just about any length you want.

Part number is KLC40-## (## represents the size from 060 (60mm) to 335 (335mm)).

It does the same job maybe even better than the Ford Mondeo units but its slightly different design.

Nah...apparently they've got to be the genuine Ford Mondeo links, ordered using the complexity of the interweb, and with all the ensuing issues of delivery and fitting. Nothing else will do!

I looked at these, and they look really nice and speccy. I was put off by the price initially, but even Whiteline recommend for race use only on their site. I was going to get them for my rear links.

I don't know how it is so complex? My mum could have fitted these.
1) Order off Ebay.
2) Pay $45 including delivery from Ireland.
3) Wait a week for delivery from Ireland.
4) Drive car into Garage, drink beers and chew the fat with your old man while taking 30min to fit with a 3/8 drive socket set.
5) Bask in warm glow knowing that you didn't have to pay someone else to do the work on the car for you.

Yeah they are a bit more expenive than Mondeo links.

As for Whiteline "Race Only" use, they state that because of the headaches of getting them ADR approved and there is also the insurance factor if one of their parts was to fail and cause an accident on the road.

I dont know how good the bearing system is or how convinient the adjustments in length are. I have never used them in my cars, never needed to. Someone that has used them may be able to give us some reviews of them.
