Hi I have a knocking noise from the rear of my multipla and have worked out it is the rear subframe front bushes have gone and have found out that the bushes can not be bought on there own from fiat. I was wondering if any one knows of any after market bushes i can buy?

I have also found out from a thread on here that brava bushes fit but need milling down about 2mm this is not some thing I can do but would happily pay for the job to be done does any one know of any where near andover, Hampshire that could do this for me

Thanks , John

I bodged mine up plain and simple. I dropped the bolt out and then cut a doughnut shape out of an old car tyre with a hole in the middle of the doughnut big enough to go over the metal sleeve of the bush.
Inserted that between the subframe (and what was left of the top of the bush ) and the chassis leg. Bolted it back up and no more knocking, This was 11,000 miles ago and it's been fine since.
Not everyone wants to do a cheap bodge but I had it done in 30 minutes.

I went for this idea and it has worked a treat. I also came across a youtube video of some who has done this. Cheers John

Brilliant, glad it worked for you, just searched youtube now and found the video. Looks exactly the same as my repair.

Excellent walktrough, that will .. .. help people - it always does when its visual CinemaScope & and in full colour - nice one mate !

It would have been even better if he actually demonstrated how he cut the rubber in the first place then showing us how to fit the replacement.

Now that's a nicely phrased thank you umberto

I thought that when I watched it, rather than telling us why not show us.
I managed o.k. when I did mine even without a video.
I was tempted to google 'how to cut rubber' but I worked it out nicely.
He could of shown a quick demo of himself dropping the bolt out and popping the doughnut in, that would of been handy then people would of known which bit of the subframe they were going to be working on.

If / when I do the other side I will (if I remember) knock a video up.
