I've just bought a 155 20v hgt but need a new stub axle . Does this have to be a specific part or can I get one of a different car like a punto for example . Can anybody please help me. I absolutely love this car and was gutted when the wheel came off and flew the road

You'd be better asking the question in the older Bravo forum rather than the one for the newer model (2007 onwards) :D

The 155 Marea and VIS Coupe will have parts that you might be able to transfer over so that might be worth looking into.
 
Ok thank you. Sorry I didn't realise this was for newer models. Will look again. Thanks for the info tho
 
Hi Phil and WELCOME TO THE FORUM :wave:

I have changed the prefix on your thread so it will now show in the Bravo/Brava section where you will hopefully get the info you need!

Welcome to the forum PhilBert, nice to have another HGT owner with us.

You could of course just buy a entire new rear swing arm but if your wheel came of the way I think it did your also probably also lost the spacer (part 3 in this diagram). You will need the correct thickness spacer to give your wheel the right offset.

You can check for part numbers and basic exploded diagrams in eper. Put in your VIN number to get the right part numbers for your car.

If you just want the stub axel/the threaded pin. Fiat don't sell it separately to the swing arm which is daft. I think you will get the swing arm new from fiat, lots on ebay or any motorfactor.

Shop4parts sell new arms here;

This picture nicely shows the swing arm with the stub axel going through. You can make out a large hole for a hex head in the axel. I have seen it with my own eyes when a independent mechanic does not realise the Bravo axel needs to be locked with a large hex socket to stop it spinning when tightening and loosening the hub nut. Fiats service manual clearly shows a hex socket locking the axel.

potentially lots of Fiats could use the same stub axel but since fiat don't list them as an individual parts there is no way to compare part numbers, you would have to check them physically. The cars that will most likely have what you need would be, the Tipo, Marea Multipla, Coupe, Brava and Bravo. Marea 20v would be best.

Maybe give a motorfactor a call, I was sure the stub axel used to be on eBay new regularly.

Thanks for the welcome Adrian. Sorry I should of mentioned it was for the front wheel. And the part I've been told I need is part 1 in the diagram the bit that the nuts screw into. Now I've managed to find this part but am unsure if it will fit my bravo as it says it will fit a bravo 95. Mine is a 1999 .
 
This is the part I was told I needed. Will this fit on the front.

Oh and thank you Alan I'm new to all this forum stuff lol so didn't really know what I was doing. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon
 
If it is the front I think you will need the wheel hub and a hub nut. I would only recommend buying new, they are easy to get hold of and cheap as chips. Check your part numbers on ePer but for example;

Hub

Nut
http://www.shop4parts.co.uk/?name=store&op=Details&ProdID=1214&sku=35423

You may Possibly need a CV Joint if the thread on yours is knackered. If someone is telling you its the bit that the nut screws into its probably the CV joint.

Heres another pic from ePer showing the front wheel hub (Part 1 is the wheel hub)

This job should be easy for any garage.

This is the part I was told I needed. Will this fit on the front.

Got away with getting just the hub and bolts. Got it fitted and and it's now amazing to drive once again
