droplinks rose joints?
my front drop links are knocking again so its time to replace.yes i know its only a 15 minute job and they are cheap but i was thinking if they had rose joints on they would last for ages.
so
is this a good idea?
i know the price would be higher but i think it would pay for its self
am i missing something in why it couldnt be done?.
any one any thoughts on this?

There's loads similar, the C5 is the same too. Most cars seem to have a similar set up, I saw one on the shelf in the shop t'other day and I thought it must be PSA but it had Opel written on it. I dunno, I remember the days when the roll bar used to be connected directly to the lower arm

I've heard about them off my mate, it sounds like the manufacturers have given up any pretence that they have any kind of durability
Next: MAF sensors made out of plasticine.
