Hello,
My Berlingo is suffering some age relate wear and the bushes on my drop links are all split and dry of grease.
Easy fix as it is just wheel off, undo the two bolts and either replace the rods complete or fit new rubber boots. With the price of these you may as well replace the links. I however had a couple of spare rubber boots that fit so i regreased and replaced them.
One thing that took me a short while to work out was how to remove the bolt as it just spun in place withouth loosening....on a closer look i saw you had to hold it in place with a 5mm allen key as you undid it!
