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.

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.

Technical specifications of Performance Suspension Anti-Roll Bar Drop Links:
- Performance anti-roll bar drop links, also known as sway bar links, are components that connect the suspension anti-roll bar to the control arms of a Porsche.
- They are specifically designed to improve the stability, control, and handling characteristics of the vehicle.
- Performance drop links are made from high-quality materials such as aluminum alloy or hardened steel.
- They feature a stiffer construction and improved design compared to standard drop links, providing enhanced performance, durability, and resistance to wear.
- Performance anti-roll bar drop links are available as aftermarket upgrades or standard replacements for Porsche vehicles.
Benefits of upgrading or replacing Performance Anti-Roll Bar Drop Links for your Porsche:
Enhanced stability and handling: Performance drop links reduce body roll and improve the overall stability and control of the vehicle during cornering, resulting in improved handling and confidence-inspiring driving experience.
Minimized understeer or oversteer: Upgrading to performance drop links allows for fine-tuning of the suspension setup, reducing understeer or oversteer tendencies and promoting balanced handling characteristics.
Improved traction: Performance drop links help keep the tires in contact with the road surface, maximizing traction and grip, especially during aggressive cornering or uneven road conditions.
