KWV3 drop link problem

You could try emailing Alan Hook at KW. He might be able to find the answers you require. He was very helpful I had a leaking damper in 2020.

Great I’ll give it a go, when I called I spoke to two different people at kw on the phone and neither of them were sure what I was asking.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay in replying Inter. No idea if you’re sorted but basically when you buy a set of KW’s, what you need to do is turn the foam packaging inserts over and the drop links are under there…..I know I know…. :oops: :oops:

Ironically the set arrived this afternoon and I didn’t even see the links in there until I saw your comment, in answer to my original question the links they send are 235mm long for anyone else who may have this same issue, time to send the ones I ordered back and get some shorter links

Bit late to the party, but I had to replace my v3 drop links, and after chasing around KW and Meyle, I fitted the Meyle 316 060 001/HD
