rear drop links replacing

I want to replace these as it was noted at last service there was slight play in rears .As they are cheap I thought I would replace. Also going to replace fronts. Has anyone replaced rears as dont seem as easy to do as fronts. If so any tips advice etc? Thanks. Also once done what effect on handling will this have apart from less lean in corners?

Rear drop links not difficult at all, but can be a bit tricky to stay on the flat with a spanner and get access with a ratchet.

Check out my howto in wiki (rear suspension dismantle & rebuild)

Having done it (and replaced everything else at the back) can't say I noticed any difference, however changing the front drop links sorted out my wobbly knocking noises that I thought were coming from the back .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember Wink
