Thread: watts linkage

I've always used genuine, thats not to comment on others.

Check your rear sway bar links if you haven't already. I too had the clunk sound but found it to be the ball joint in the link had completely worn.

Avoid the poly bushes for the watts linkage - particularly the orange UK brand.

I'd suggest OEM or genuine.

I solved my issue by getting a second hand watts link from the wreckers. I will obviously need to replace the bushes eventually. But this give me time to save the $300 to $400 for 3 genuine bushes.

I am about to fix mine also. I was going to buy genuine as I had read about Britparts ones failing and the orange two piece poly ones being bad.
But my brother can get one piece superpro ones for a good price through work so I decided Ill give them a shot. Ill probably fit them later in the week and see how they go.

I can't recall them being that dear. Did you try going to a dealer. I though I paid about $200 for the three about eighteen months ago.

Thanks biggin, that is certainly good to know.

single cell, I've used Superpro before on radius arms and stuff, i think they worked very well.
