[andrew simmons]

has anyone encountered front droplink wear on there front suspension.
i seem to have on the front passenger side have a small micro ammount of side movement on the droplink connection at the bottom.
Is this normal!!.
Had Audi look at it and they have said that it is o.k. but i don't trust them as far as a can throw them.

Can anyone help

had all mine replaced under warrenty already - all bushes and drop links (as well as steering rack). 1yr old and 4k miles.

drop-links
Found on the front suspension just behind front spring smallish siver rod connecting bottom anti-role bar and front shock absorber so when the a2 is cornering reduces the amount of body role.
hope this helps define what a drop-link does and where it can be located on the A2.
