Maximise the performance of your Porsche 911 (964) rear stabiliser system with this high-performance racing drop link. Specifically engineered for the rear right side of the 1989-94 911 (964 C2/C4/RS/Turbo), this part features a durable spherical uniball joint in place of the standard rubber bushing. The precision joint allows near-zero compliance, delivering sharper rear-end response, improved cornering stability and long-term durability. Ideal for spirited driving, track days or any 964 where rear suspension performance matters.

Diagram Ref No 18
What This Product Does:
- The rear drop link connects the rear anti-roll bar (also called stabiliser bar) to the rear suspension arm or axle carrier. Under cornering, the anti-roll bar transfers load from one side of the rear suspension to the other, helping reduce body roll and maintain tyre contact.
- In a standard link, the joint usually has a rubber or polyurethane bushing that allows articulation but with some compliance. The uniball version replaces the bushing with a spherical bearing which allows joint motion with much less compliance and greater precision.
- The result: faster, sharper response of the stabiliser bar to suspension movement; less flex in the link; more direct force transfer; improved rear stability during cornering or dynamic driving.
Symptoms & Signs Of Wear / When To Upgrade:
- Clunking or knocking noises from the rear suspension when going over bumps or during rapid direction changes — likely indicating wear in the link joint or bushing.
- Excessive body roll or vague rear end feel in corners — if the anti-roll bar isn’t applying its load properly because the link is loose or soft, the rear end can feel less stable.
- Uneven rear tyre wear (especially outer shoulder) or strange rear alignment behaviour — since the stabiliser may not be transferring load correctly under dynamic conditions.
- If you’ve upgraded other suspension components (stiffer springs, wider tyres, track usage) and the rear still “feels soft” or delayed — the link may be the “weak link” in the system.
- On inspection: you might see excessive play in the link joint, torn or degraded boots, corrosion, or a bent link. When an OEM rubber bushing link is worn, the uniball version is a logical upgrade path.
Why This Upgrade Matters:
- Reduced compliance = sharper handling: By replacing a rubber-bushed link with a spherical bearing, you reduce unwanted movement. This means the rear anti-roll bar is engaged more directly, giving you a firmer, more predictable rear end under cornering.
- Supporting other upgrades: If you have made other suspension enhancements (springs, dampers, anti-roll bars, tyres), then the standard link might become the limiting factor. Upgrading to the uniball version ensures your rear stabiliser system can operate at its full potential.
- Durability and precision: Spherical bearings are more robust for high load/track usage. They provide longer life under high cornering forces compared to rubber bushings which degrade over time.
- Safety and control: The rear stabiliser system contributes to chassis behaviour in transitions, over bumps, and in dynamic manoeuvres — if the link is worn or soft, the car’s handling rear-end can become unpredictable. Upgrading improves confidence.
- Value for performance builds: For a performance or track-oriented Porsche 964, having high-quality suspension components (including drop links) is part of the upgrade footprint and contributes to the car’s usability and resale value.

Diagram Ref No 18
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.
- 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.

The ideal swaybar is completely unloaded at static ride height. Stock drops links almost always preload the swaybar since the car doesn't sit perfectly level due to asymmetries such as driver weight.Our front and rear adjustable-length drop links for C4/C2 allow you to eliminate preload of the swaybar for maximum performance.
A preloaded swaybar shifts the weight carried by each of the tires, increasing grip on weighted tires at the expense of decreasing grip on un-weighted tires. This shifted weight/grip causes uneven handling in left and right turns, and premature brake lockup since the less-loaded tire locks up first. Preload can be completely eliminated by adjusting drop link length and swaybar performance optimized.
