Good afternoon gents,

I have just replaced my driver side front air strut. Now I'm running normal, I've noticed and annoying knock / rattle from the front driver side. When I was undoing the drop link from the old strut , it was just spinning as I was trying to undo the nut, so I had to put a spanner on the back of it to undo the nut. Could I have messed it up at this point ? In the rave it said something about noting the position of the droplink before removal , but I didn't follow what it meant .

I suppose what I am getting at is can I just unbolt the old droplink and re fit a new one without having to set anything special up?

Many thanks. MY2010 TDV8 Vogue Ipanema Sand

And get the open ended spanner on the flats before you start tightening the nut! .

Yes please keep to the topic as it can be very annoying reading through the threads and suddenly the thread has veered off topic.


Thank you Stan for noticing, personally I would have missed this one as it was rather subtly done

Very sorry folks. Thanks for the answers. I'll get me a new drop link and mark the thread as (SOLVED) MY2010 TDV8 Vogue Ipanema Sand
