Hi,I am looking at replacing the two rear arm bushes on my Panda.I have found the bushes as part code 50012 (OEM No 7663115), these are also used for the Cinq but allegedly fit the 1.2 Panda.Can anyone confirm if these bushes will actually fit as the only other option is a complete new arm at circa £210.00!!! If anyone can shed any light on this would be greatly appreciatedThanks in advance
 
Hi all,To close out my thread from last week, I can confirm for all 4x4 Panda owners that replacement bushes are available for the rear suspension arms as spurious parts and not from main dealers. The cost was £7.00 per bush and fitting was circa £110.00 from my local garage (I did not have the time nor wanted to risk not being able to press the new bush home without the equipment)The main dealer wanted circa £198.00 plus VAT for a complete arm assembly alone, that's without fitting so in my opinion still worth just replacing the bush.The "knock" from the bush took me ages to find having replaced rear shocks etc etc before finally tracking it down so might be useful to check this if you have similar symptomsthanks allHope this helps someone out in the future

Good to get that fixed. Perhaps you could give more detail on the supplier for the bushes to help others.
