Drop Link Sports 85 Shore Rating, Rear Right. Porsche 964

Drop Link Sports 85 Shore Rating, Rear Right.
Upgrade the rear anti-roll bar linkage of your Porsche 911 (964 series) with this high-performance sports drop link. Specifically designed for the rear right side, this unit features an 85 Shore rated bushing for firmer response and enhanced durability. Compatible with all 1989-94 911 (964) models (C2 / C4 / Turbo), this direct-bolt replacement restores optimal stabiliser bar function, improves rear stability under load, and sharpens cornering behaviour. Sold individually to allow side-specific replacement.

Fits:

• Porsche 964 (911) C2 1989-93
• Porsche 964 (911) C4 1989-93
• Porsche 964 (911) RS 3.6L 1991-93

What This Product Does:

• The drop link connects the rear anti-roll bar (stabiliser bar) to the suspension arm or axle link, forming a link through which the stabiliser bar can apply force between the two sides of the rear suspension when the car is cornering.
• By transferring roll-bar forces, it helps reduce body roll, maintain tyre contact patch, improve rear stability and maintain chassis balance.
• A firm, well-designed drop link ensures that the anti-roll bar is fully engaged under load without unwanted compliance, thereby improving handling response, cornering grip, and driver feedback.
  
• Upgrading to an 85-Shore rated version means both less compliance (so fewer unwanted movements) and improved durability — especially important when using upgraded tyres, stiffer springs or track driving.

Symptoms & Signs Of Wear / When To Replace:

• Knocking or clunking noises from the rear suspension when going over bumps or during aggressive cornering — indicating the link or its joint/bush has excessive play.
  
• Rear body roll or instability: If the rear end of the car feels loose, shifts or leans more than expected under cornering, the drop link may be letting the rear stabiliser under-perform.
  
• Uneven tyre wear on the rear pair, particularly on the outside shoulder — because the stabiliser link may not be transmitting forces properly, geometry may be shifting.
  
• Visual wear: the joint/bushing may show cracking, movement, damaged boots, or the link may have corrosion or broken mount bushes.
  
• Upgraded suspension: If you have lowered the car, installed larger tyres or firmer springs, the stock drop links may be too soft or worn out — the sports-rated link helps restore performance.
  
  

Why This Upgrade Matters:

• Ensures the rear anti-roll bar is actively working: If the drop links are soft or worn, the stabiliser bar’s effect is reduced, and the car’s handling suffers (increased roll, slower response). Upgrading removes this weak link.
  
• Improves handling precision: With firmer link materials and better joints, the rear end feels more controlled, the car responds faster and cornering stability is improved.
• Matches with other upgrades: If you’ve upgraded other suspension parts (e.g., springs, dampers, tyres) the original links may become the limiting factor — a sports-rated link ensures the rest of the system functions at its potential.
• Longevity & maintenance: The sports version (85 Shore) is likely to resist wear better than standard bushings—so less frequent replacements, better durability.
• Value & performance: For a Porsche 964, having proper performance-related suspension parts enhances both usability and resale value.
