I had new GT3 sways and AP droplinks from Vivid installed yesterday and when I drive slow and hit little bumps the front end sounds like a 69 Ford truck with the front end about to fall off. I went back to the shop that installed and they said everything is correct it's the ball joint rattling on the adjustable droplink. They do a lot of suspension work on Porsche's and Audi's and said all adjustable droplinks do this. They put the car up on the rack and showed me how the droplinks ball joint rotates back and forth under zero load. When I drive faster or I'm turning hard I don't hear it.

Are there any droplinks that don't do this. The front end sounds terrible. It seems to be coming more from the passenger side then drivers.

Can you recommend any droplinks that fit a GT3 swaybar for a 996 C2 that don't make the car sound like a 69 Chevy truck. Thanks.

 

I believe the stock links work on certain coilovers..

 

for the rears the stock ones will work, for the front, the stock ones can be cut and re-welded at a shorter length to work, but this will not allow him to adjust the sways without having tension in them or corner balance for that matter, this is the reason for adjustable links.

there have been a few issues with the AP links, besides being noisy, many have failed, i would suggest TRG or Tarret, TRG seems to have more Beef, but bottom line is that even the above mentioned links will use a rod end/heim joint that has the potential to become slack once they ware down a bit, the ends can be replaced without having to replace the entire link, but is inevitable, the better quality the Heim the longer it'll last. I have yet to find a set where there is good quality with a reasonable price, the AP price is right , but the TRG quality is needed.... i'm in the process of building a set that i may be able to finish at a decent price.
