I've just had one of the arms fall off which is extremely helpful in this weather, is there anyway to fix it or does it mean I need to replace the entire linkage ??

 

Car would help ?, a Fiat by any chance done them before now!!

Sorry its an 88 Sapphire Cosworth, Ford no longer sell the linkages, Is it possible to get hold of the nylon bush that its obviously worn out, or has no one else had this happen yet? Currently a cable tie is holding it in place but that's not a real solution to the problem at all really.

I've only ever known one to have a problem, was a sunday eve so I fixed it with a rose joint welded to the link arm, with a bolt and washers after welding a bolt in place of the stub.
I'm a bit better these days but would fix in a similar manner if having trouble getting the parts.
Loads of sierra parts on the bay though, my own cossie has done 200,000 miles and no discernable wear that I've noticed so they do last normally.
I'd just raid the scrappies first there's bound to be the same bush on loads of fords, if not, as a last resort one can be made from delrin on a lathe no probs, let me know.

Ok thanks for that I'll let you know how I get on
