Since the noise from my droplinks is beginning to eat my head in and make my car seem like its from the 1930's, i wanna get them replaced ASAP. now the question is, should i get them genuine from mitsubishi australia or should i buy them of camskill? and does anyone have any idea how much it would cost for labour? or should i just put em in myself? i have the ability but just not that much time! cheers!

put em in yourself very easy, justremoving old ones can sometimes be a bitch but no biggie.
not sure of prices here but would say genuine may be dearer, but also consider exchange rates etc
control arm bushes if they are bushes you refer too? need to be press fit bu best to get high castor ones

Droplinks are best bought from Camskill:

Thats bout $60 delivered for the pair. Mitsi Aus want $120 each
As vip mentions, its an easy job, 10 minutes a side. I'll do it for 6pack!

cheers for the info gentlemen! much appreciated! iam definately gonna be buying them of camskill, but i want to know, should i also purchase the bushes whilst iam buying the droplinks or should i check if they are shot? the noise is like a " creaky, tuk-tuk-tuk"
sound and it occurs when i brake heavily, going over speed bumps and stuff. Or should i just go ahead and buy both droplinks and bushes coz i dont think they have ever been changed/replaced?

Then the ones above will be fine. You'll need the front lower control arm rear bushes too.
Standard:

Or anti lift (postivie castor):

cheers for that ben, if i go with the anti-lift (positive castor), knowing they are the same price as the standard, what difference would it make?
and to compile my shopping list, i should be getting
1. Front pair droplinks-
