Changing front drop links

Just a quick question before I change front drop links, can I change with wheels on with or without jacking up.
As I think I read some where both wheels need to be off ground because of tension on ace bar
As I was going to jack one side up and change with wheel off ?

Thanks

Never trust a jack alone. Always use stands.

And if you're using stands, you may as well lift both wheels up. Kev

And don’t forget the cars can re-level automatically so if you’re underneath the car without a stand but on the wheel, it could drop as part of its self levelling, even with the car locked. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

That's a good point, Chris. I always remove both air suspension fuses from the engine bay fuse box when I'm working on my vehicle. Better to be safe than sorry. Kev

All done, just a heads up to any one doing them you’ll need a 21mm open ended spanner and a Alan key to stop them spinning when taking nut off

Thanks 😊

Seemed liked bushes but changed drop links as I had them from some time back, and it was them
All back to normal for a bit 😁
