Hello Everbody,

I have just purchased a 2.5 Tintop, (moving into the modern age and retiring my old VW T25) while driving the van back I have heard a clunk a number of times as I ridse over bumps in the roads. However the clunks do not occur all the time, I supose it only happen on deeper pot hole. Could this be new shocks etc, please can you advise on possible causes?

Thanks in advance,

Mickers :D

Drop links.

Do a search and lots of info will be found. Cheaper compatibles - the lot.

or anti roll bar bushes, easy & cheap fix, best to replace the brackets if you're doing the bushes.

1995 Vectra drop links fit, and are a lot cheaper. 8)

Vectra ones are for the front, Ford Galaxy ones for the rear droplinks, you may find your local motor factor has this info already.
