Default Drop link refresh?

All -

Searched but did not find...any options for replacing bushings in the factory front drop links? I have seen and read about the adjustable versions, but in my situation simply replacing the rubber to regain stock suspension behavior is just fine. I would be open to a poly or delrin-type replacement if available - just no need for adjustable based on research.

Thanks -

Im assuming from your photo your car is pre 86. A company called retro line makes good copies of the drop link here in the UK and they are approx one third of the price of the Porsche part. Dont know if you can get them in the US but this is where I bought them from

DrSS,
I've never seen bushings sold separately for those particular parts. Not that they could not be sourced probably, but I think the idea is to just buy new complete drop links,

Scott, Not sure what year your car is, but I have a set of drop links I purchased from Tom in Austin a few years back that I've never installed. Tom stated they are like brand new for all intents and purposes and are the original items from Porsche. Fronts: MY78-86 (928 343 069 00) and rears MY78-95 (928 333 060 01) $ 100.00 includes shipping. pm 77tony if interested. T

Scott, to my knowledge, the bushings are vulcanized in place and are part of the drop link.
