On my race car I don't care too much (they get replaced quite often) but on a road car, the cheap ones get knackered in no time

In essence, fit one side at a decent height and then adjust the other side (with weight on the suspension) until the bolt slips through easily.

Suggestion
They are extremely easy to make/buy - 2 rose joints (each side), a turnbuckle, a few bolts, and a couple of spacers - and will allow you to set the ARB with no pre-load.

I prefer to always use Porsche parts but this seems unbelievable unless it is a designated motorsport item with a measurable performance impact.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My 996 GT3 has failed its mot with worn anti-roll bar link.
The price of front drop link 996.343.069.92 is an unbelievable £275-310. These are non adjustable and regular 996 drop links are a fraction of the price… so what is different , the dimensions of the link bar or the compound of the rubber bushing?
I prefer to always use Porsche parts but this seems unbelievable unless it is a designated motorsport item with a measurable performance impact.
Or is this a rip off ?
Standard 996 droplinks are longer than GT3 and require chopping & welding if you want them to fit.
Good post
here
There are also adjustable options available
Oh well, answering my own thread but it appears the GT3 drop link is unique in that both the ball joints point in the same direction and non GT 996s the ball joints are at 90deg to one another .
So I’m stuffed with the GT3 parts, hey ho.
Hi,
Why don't you just fit adjustable drop links? They are extremely easy to make/buy - 2 rose joints (each side), a turnbuckle, a few bolts, and a couple of spacers - and will allow you to set the ARB with no pre-load.
Adjusting them is also very easy. In essence, fit one side at a decent height and then adjust the other side (with weight on the suspension) until the bolt slips through easily. You can then fine tune if need be.
I certainly wouldn't be paying £300 for a drop link...

Great minds! I'll second your point about buying good quality ones as well. On my race car I don't care too much (they get replaced quite often) but on a road car, the cheap ones get knackered in no time

Cheers ?Aiden, it does make sense to fabricate these and McGill seem to have all the bits.
Is there a spec sheet for the original Porsche drop links ? Are the bolt centres 180mm.?
I will contact McGill, and check out making these.
Many thanks
Mike
