Is the car drivable without drop links?

Dont mean forever... Bottom bolts nacked on these and just can't budge em, might just drive it to garage to get them cracked off.

It will be awfull to drive mate rollin around like a pig but I drove mine with a snapped anti roll bar to my mates unit wouldn't recommended it like but tue answer is yes but be very carefully mate

Just be careful because their will be no connection between each side.

It will feel terrible to drive.

Take it easy.
And make sure you at least cable tie it out the way as last thing you want is it getting stuck

Cheers guys (",)

Apart from a subframe

Lee it'll be fine to drive short steady distances with out the arb connected as you wouldn't be throwing it into corners like a knob in this condition.

All the arb does is reduce body roll when going into corners.

I the thing I would be concerned about is if the drop links are still attached then they could become entangled in the strut, bodywork or wheel.

I meant as in reaction for suspension so Cornering, bumps etc.
Where you would usually get the reaction from anti roll bar acting to force wheel back down with the other wheel won't be their.

Yeah I won't be caining it, I drive like a nun anyway, try keeping it in 30+ mpg as only do short work journeys...

Putting suspension back in tomo, I'll attatch the one side but drivers is still jammed so ill cable tie it out of way. get em changed wed once the other set are delivered...

[John LE]

Just may sure that everything is going to be clear of the wheels bud as a stray drop link could do a fair bit of damage

[m8internet]

In a relatively straight line it will be acceptable up to 50mph
Where you encounter corners you will want to keep to no more than 40mph
Equally, after roundabouts or similar (where you have to turn the steering wheel left then right, or right then left) you may want to stop and check the bar itself has not become dislodged, but this is very unlikely if the bushes and clamps are still connected

The main issue will be your insurance and road worthiness
If involved in an accident then your insurer will be none too happy

Therefore it may be appripriate to contact them in advance and discuss
They may accept a short journey to/from garage for repair purposes only
Alternatively they may apply a restriction until proof the repair has been completed, ie leaving you with only being able to move the vehicle by recovery agent

[Leemarksmith]

Well it's been fine all week, taking it to the garage tomo as drop links finally turned up...

One good thing, mpg has jumped up to 33, might take passenger side off too
