Having changed the lollipop bushes i plan to change the above as it seems an easy job.

Not sure if they're worn but with the car being 13 years old may as well change them. Will this improve or tighten anything?

Cheers chaps.
 
next time the wheel is off simply grab the drop link rod and give it a twist, it should be tight almost stiff, if it's loose they are worn out!
The AR bushes soften with age and allow the bar to float about, if badly worn you can often get a clonk, and seeing as they are a very simple replacement job and cheap to boot it's worth replacing them if in doubt!

Both the drop link and bush is a simple spanner/socket job, 2 nuts on the links, 2 bolts on each bush carrier, when you undo the drop link nuts you will find a flat on the other side of the mounting hole to hold it whilst you unscrew the nut, the flats seem to vary from 16-18mm dependant on make
