(Maybe i just fail?) any help appreciated!#

10 min job mate. Front wheel off you will see the drop link. 2 bolts hold it on thier notorious for seizing though if so grind them off and then swap for the new one.

Use a trolley jack on the bottom of the strut (not disc) to close the strut. it should then just fall out if it doesn't seize

update: very very easy to do, successfully fitted the new drop links and WOW what a difference...that was definately the cause of the rattle/shake

thanks for help again!

what were the symptoms if they do decide to go?

Its a clunk noise from the front of the car mate. Especially going over speed bumps you will easy notice it
