Today's task on the magical, mystery mileage Vectramobile was to fix the clunk in the front suspension. That'll be the anti-roll bar drop-links (see pic), or so I thought. A well documented Veccy weak point. They can go after 20,000 miles they said. So I bought a pair, removed a perfect drop link from our 150,000(ish) mile car to find it's the anti-roll bar mounting bushes that are shot, not the drop links. Oh well, the new links can't do any harm... Car still goes clunk...
(Don't tell the Veccy, but later on, to cheer ourselves up, we had a quick look in the used car ads... Shhh!)
