   if an anti roll bar link or a track rod end is on its way out (or already is fooked), what noises will occur?

   You mean drop links? It will just rattle think like mine has been doing. Jack the car up and have a look. Check to see if the seals are split etc as this means all the shit can get in there and grind the joint down.
   Just noticed earlier that mine need replacing. Anyone have a rough price on these?

   yeah drop links are just another name for them. so if they rattle, will they only do it a low speeds and under braking?

   hmmm i suppose, what am i looking for and are they easy to change as im fed uo with garages letting me down because i supply the parts and therefore them cant be bothered to do job properly...
