would this be the drop links and if so which ones would be a good upgrade
cheers

 

yes mate, droplinks, common fault on older scoobs. get yourself some whiteline alloy ones.

 

I know the drop links are a common fault on classic models but I would have thought if the MOT advisory said "excessive anti-roll bar movement" then maybe they mean the anti-roll bar bushes as when I had an advisory last year for my drop links it said this;
"Rear anti-roll bar linkage has slight play in pin/bush"

It could be just different wording though for the same thing I'd recommend Perrin alloy drop links as this is what I have on my classic and the quality is first rate.

 

Would tend to agree with GMB above.

Just had mine fail on drop links and thats what it said on the MOT. Replaced drop links and arb to chassis bushes(which i suspect is what yours has failed on) with Powerflex parts from Larkspeed.

 

yeah thats what it says on mine but in the front so should i replace the dop links and the bushes

 

Makes sense to do it all at once if you can, not megga bucks for these parts and also as b13bat mentioned Larkspeed are very good for Powerflex bushes (cheapest I found on eBay anyway) which are quality

 

iv just been lookin on the whiteline website does anyone know if theres much difference between the solid alloy drop links and the wire drop links the solid ones are double the price of the wire ones

 

They do precisely the same, purely aesthetic difference and the alloy ones are a few grammes lighter

 

And alloys will not rust

These are a good buy
