DROP LINKS
RICKS LINKS TIP
When your front anti roll bar links start knocking - and they will eventually -
you can replace them with the equivalent units from a Vauxhall Carlton or Opel
Senator. You will have to drill the mounting holes on the anti roll bar and the
McPherson strut out from 10mm to 12mm, and you have to fit them as a pair,
because the length is a few mm different from the originals. The plus point is
that they are available as pattern parts from your local motorists discount shop
for about £25 a pair - as compared to nearly £80 EACH for genuine Toyota
parts!
I`ve had this mod on my car for a few months and it works just fine.
The Vauxhall part no. for the links is 90334075, my pattern versions are
made by Pearl and the part no. is PB53
