anybody on here know if there are any other droplinks front & rear that will replace the mazda bongo ones, there are loads of car/van makes ,cannot belive that you have to purchase specific mazda ones & pay a premium price for them, had a quick look and they look sim to rover ones ,I intend to get 1 of them of and compaire,but my guess is there is a alternative replacement for them its just finding the right make & model of van or car

Re: Drop links
Vectra ones are a straight fit & half the price but many have found the don't seem to last very long.
Probably because they're not designed to soak the clonks on a two tonne van.

Re: Drop links
vectra ones are the same physical size,but are not man enough in build quality to stand the bongo 's weight.

Re: Drop links
have checked the links (to posts) given, noticed there were some ford galaxy ones that would do, Pearl PLB601, problem is when I went to the local car acc shop, gave the number came back blank,showed me a pic of the galaxy droplinks nothing like the bongo ones so have I missed something ? what year of ford Galaxy/type,nearest match to the bongo rear droplinks I could see was the rover 800 ones although they are a little (well a lot) shorter, is that gonna cause problems if /when fitted?
