Rear Stabiliser Drop Links

[Mototechnics]

Does anyone know if you can still get new rear stabilaer drop links like the one in the picture.

Mine are different from that shown in the Haynes Manual or whenever I can find a diagram on 'tinernet.

Alternatively does anyone make replacements or is there something from another car that does the job.

I've found out (with help from the OMOC forum) that the bushes are the same as Vectra 4x4 ones.

Cheers, Mark

I have struggled to find these myself, I did buy two from Opel Parts Greece, but they are a bit on the long side, not quite right

bear in mind there are also two sizes of rear ARB, I would need to check but I think the ends are differing diameters as awell

Its another one of those bad ones, a bit like finding rear wheel bearings - a nightmare

nightmare i agree, i am trying to source. i got a set from dr manta the end fits to the car ok but the other suits the smaller roll bar. if you have any joy pls let me know. if not the smaller dia bar and a kit from them will fit. not sure what the handling diff will be with the smaller dia roll bar.

I did a bit of research on that subject, some say ARB off with stiff shocks is ok, some say stiff shocks and thinner ARB ok, it's a mine field. I have both ARB sizes, one off A 1.8 and the other off a 2.0. Was thinking of getting another ARB made up from a local guy who makes springs and ARB, but with more traditional ends, bit like the white line aftermarket ARBs available for modern cars
