Default rear drop links
Anyone know a "how to replace a rear drop link" video as one of mine has snapped!?
Just need to know if its just a case of jacking up the car and undoing the bolts or is it under tension?
Cheers

Under tension I believe, especially if you're only jacking one side, best way to do it would be on a set of ramps to give you access but keeping the weight on the wheels.

As above reverse it onto a set of ramps (or jack and lower it onto them (if your low you might have to do this!) and undo / replace (10min job)

What Dave said. Make sure you put some penetrating spray on the nuts as they can get tough to get off.
