according the knocking noise on my 2.3 ultima, i guess the drop links from the anti-roll bar to the struts need changing  (bushes etc changed!). Does anyone know if these are available other than from a dealer at all, as i dont really want to pay what they're asking (even at factor/trade) prices!!!! 
Was quoted £60.00 trade for one front wheel bearing.....got a pair of struts from madmadscorpioman via ebay for £19.98 complete!!!!!!  ........seems a nice bloke, see other postings. OK, i'm off to knock elsewhere now  thanks all. mal.

I just changed them on my 24v, and it was a ford job £40 a side, but they were in stock.

Hi,
recently replaced mine on 2.3 estate. very easy job. Got them from my local motor factors, Lloyds. Paid £14 each. Its amazing how loud the knocking noise can be! Only one was worn and that was minimal. Lovely and quiet now.
Regards

Hi there ,
Recently had both done , parts cost £30 . Sourced via trade motor factors .
As you say the noise they make is quite loud . The difference is great .
Strait forward job to do so good luck .
Regards , Madd .
