Understanding Discovery 2 Stabilizer Links
Stabiliser links, often called drop links, connect the anti-roll bar to the suspension arm or strut. They have small ball joints or bushes at each end and are one of the most common sources of knocks on almost every Land Rover and Range Rover.
Drop links are inexpensive and usually straightforward to replace, which makes them the first thing to check when the front suspension starts knocking on rough roads.

Common Questions About Discovery 2 stabilizer links
How do I know if my drop links are worn?
With the vehicle on its wheels, grab the link and try to move it. Any play or clunking at the ends means it is worn. A workshop can confirm with the vehicle on a lift.
Should I replace both drop links at once?
Yes. They wear at similar rates, and replacing both saves doing the job again soon.
Are longer drop links needed after a lift?
Sometimes. If a lift changes the angle of the link too much, it can bind or wear quickly. Extended links are available for some lifted setups.
Why do new drop links still knock?
Check the anti-roll bar bushes, ball joints and control arm bushes, which cause similar noises. Also make sure the links were tightened correctly with the suspension loaded.
