Anti-Roll Bar Drop Link
What is a Anti-Roll Bar Drop Link?
Anti-Roll Bar Drop Links are an integral part of the suspension system. They work with the Anti Roll bar to provide stability when cornering, this makes cars handle more predictably and safely. The drop links connect up the control arms to the sway bar and take a lot of the forces from everyday driving. Knocking sounds from your suspension will generally come from drop links that have worm out.
