V70 rear drop links

[Adderross94]

Hi all just recently changed the rear drop links on my v70 over the weekend quick question for anyone able to help, the drivers side drop link bottom mount is sitting straight but I’ve noticed that the passenger side bottom joint is sitting slightly offset is this going to affect anything or should I just leave as is? Photos attached below.

have a look at the sway bar bushes to see if there is any wear. as drop links are between 2 fixed points i would not worry about it.

Will do, had a look at my S80s rear drop links today and it's the same on one side so peace of mind achieved

Adderross94...Just a quick question - did you replace your drop links with genuine Volvo ones, or another aftermarket manufacturer? They look pretty robust compared to mine - and wondered if they were some how "strengthened" versions to aid stability... just asking for a friend!

Hi not genuine replaced with an aftermarket brand from ebay that honestly seem to be good quality for the price just under £18 for the pair. Link here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363517987...mis&media=COPY
