NeilF Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 My Disco2 failed it's NCT (MOT) test. One item was a split dust cover on the anti roll bar link. Can you get these separately or do you need to buy a new link? If so, what's the difference between the ordinary one (RBM100223) and a Delphi Link Assembly Front Antiroll Bar Discovery 2 (RBM100223 G)? How do I know which one I need? Another Item of failure was a track rod end. Now, it failed on the same thing on the same side 2 years ago. My garage man swore there was nothing wrong with it but we replaced it anyway and it passed. I find it hard to believe a track rod end would wear in 2 years, so perhaps there is some play in the steering linkage but somewhere else? What else is there on one side only that could give rise to play when worn? I also got a fail advisory on not having any rear seats. It's a 7 seater, but the rears were folded up..... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi, Have a look here for the ball joint rubbers. https://www.balljointboots.co.uk/ The letter "G" after the part number usually means "Genuine" for the manufacturer.. HTH, Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilF Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Thanks! but I've put a gauge on and I think I need an 18/32 mm size - the nearest I can find is 18/40 - they all seem to be for track rod ends rather than the cover for an anti roll bar link - anyone know any different?

western Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 send them a email with the larger end & smaller end diameters you need, pretty sure they would be able to sort you some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I found similar issues, but picked some up on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Garrett Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 You're best off just replacing the drop links, they're not expensive. Meyle heavy duty ones are very good. Faffing around trying to replace the rubber boots makes no sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
