    Rear Drop Links - Where to buy ?

    Looking to buy some new good quality rear suspension metal drop links, hopefully cheaper than a Dealer ?

    Any advices / comments welcome.

    Thanks.

      I see the comments and photo on post # 95 on the link. I was able to get two metal Lemforder front drop links. Their packaging label mentions an oem part number of 8A0 407 465 C, and their own part number is 10055 ? €20.26 plus vat each.

      It seems the rear drop links for a quattro which have to have a bend at one end to clear the driveshaft means that because of the smaller potential market they make not bother to tool up and make them, front ones fit all B4s rather than just quattros?, hope I'm wrong in my supposition, and can get a decent set rather than the expense of oem, although do want to get a decent set that last.

      I presume new standard bushes for the rear Avant anti roll bar are dealer only, having said that cost presumably should be too bad?

      Thanks.

          Not yet, but is on my list as one of the next things to do with this.
