Rich Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I thought I would ask before I order them but the replacement drop links I'm going to get, which alot of people have used are 10mm longer than the standard ones, the brand is Meyle. I know you can get adjustable links for some cars so I can't see this being an issue. Anyone disagree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Any thoughts, I want to order them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I can't see a problem since the bars floating. It might change the roll transition leverage poundage a little but it shouldn't be noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Alot of owners have used these and said they've not noticed any changes, if anything the car is better as they were replacing worn parts but thought I'd ask. Honda list different part numbers for the Tourer and Saloon but it seems all the pattern parts are the same for each model so I'm actually sure what the difference is, if there's suppose to be any.

Tony Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thickness of the bars i would assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Could be but wouldn't the weight towards the front be similar between the Saloon and Tourer? I can understand them being thicker at the rear for when the car is fully loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 The lengths the the bars pick-up points could differ as well.... A bit like adjustable roll bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 They actually look similar in length to me, I forgot to measure them but the casing/ball joint looks larger. On the Honda workshop CD it said to lightly tightened them, raise the suspension and then torque the nuts. Now you do this for bushes but I have never done this for drop links or heard anyone mention it needs doing. I did one side like it and the only difference was it stopped the ball joint spinning when I tightened them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Look perfect to me..... As for the tightening sequence i think it's whatever works best since as said it's not a bushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
