3rd and 4th ones down.
This is the only place that ive foung that sell the bushes seperatly for the rear axle. Press the old ones out and the new ones in and it should be as good as new.
on the slightest bump on the road i get a severe knocking noise from the rear left end, its less noticable when i soften the dumping rate of the rear shocks or when there is people at the back
ive changed the rear arms, and i have Avo adjustable suspensions covered less than 10k so its not those..
i think its the rear axle bushes and im gona need a complete new one..
can someone confirm that this is correct? or if there is a way of fixing it without changing the whole rear axle?
cheers,
Neil

Sure you're exhaust isn't banging on something then?
rear subframe bushes go, fiat do repair things for them, £15 and you dont have to take the old ones out,
also sometimes the handbrake cable bangs on bottom of car.
no im sure its not the ehaust or anyhting..
if i buy the repair kit do i still have to dismantle the rear axle? does it make things any easier
nods - link doesnt work mate, is the ones under steering/suspension > bushes/drop links? how many do i need, two of each?
cheers
this is a repair kit for rear arm, you got new arms so wont need these

The cups take up most of the play but they only do them for the front of the axle. I put 4 new bushes in mine when i did my rear arms and put some cups over just to stop them wearing out quicker.
Not the easiest job but the back end felt loads better when it was done.
if you want to fit new mounts not the cups, you need a tool like this realy,
i'll try the cheap option first.. if not i'll take the whole thing apart and fix it.
that presses the mount in i guess?im gona fit the 'cups' in this weekend, i'll let u lot know what happens
cheers
