When were the drop links last changed?

[martcool]

i not had car that long done about 5000 miles in it so i have not done them

[Mirez]

Change them first then as it's REALLY common for those to fail and much, much less likely for a shock to have gone.

yes thats the same as mine they said it should have 205 60 16 on it thanks my car is 2002 dti

was that Ã,£9.50 or Ã,£950 - if the former a keen price if the latter not good. Tyres are fine lots of different options are fitted to the Galaxy.

The size isn't that important, its the load index and reinforced criteria that are.

Hi there it was Ã,£9.50 for both sides but i only done one side and its lovely now all done thanks a lot so can i put 205 60 16 on my car and be ok

[Mirez]

If it fits the rim and clears all the suspension then yes but they must have a load index of at least 95 and be reinforced/extra-load.

Also find another garage.
