Perhaps it's just the picture but the steel in yours looks much thicker than mine, that's what made me think it had been repaired.

In fact mine is thin enough to be bent inwards making the space small, if I had a arb I would have to bend it out to fit.

This is mine with the drop link. The axle is of indeterminate age and origin but from an automatic. Your drop link looks much bigger than mine.

Like Lambert I had taken another look as my drop link looked like yours. Here is another photo, 2009 manual and factory fitted drop link. It looks like the thread is as long as the gap behind, so if it will come out it's going to be an only just. The rear of my drop link looks flat, yours appears to be domed, is this the case of just my eyes and the photo?

It must have gone in at the factory!

Actually looking at the lock nut the amount of thread sticking above the nut on mine is similar to the the amount of thread on yours, BUT only after you have chopped yours down, suggesting it was too long?
Still does not explain how it was assembled.

Fitted using Clarkson method methinks (hammer) :laugh:

The metal it goes into can be bent back and forth a little to allow some space.

Or maybe it was installed in bits, or at a specific rotation angle thats been lost with age or filled with grease

Glad its sorted out though :-)
