Hello! Does anyone know where I can get a pair of rear diff mounts for a 2005 4x4 Climbing? My mechanic said he had been quoted £152 each...ouch! He said mine are slightly cracked which is causing a dull thud at the rear of the car when I pull away quickly.

Can anyone help?

Ouch!

Hello again.
I have got some new diff mounts for my panda and im considering fitting the mounts myself. Do you have any knowledge of doing this job?
Chris.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that you have to remove the rear subframe to do this? I'll see if I can find where I read that...

My eLearn suggests that they just unbolt with the diff in situ. Will need to support the diff.

With the car supported on stands, support the diff on a trolley jack and the mounts look like they can be replaced easily. Pics on eLearn not that special, so you'll need to crawl under and have a look.

See the ePer diagram here (via a Russian site!).

The bolt numbered 4 goes into the top of the diff housing, which may not be accessible with it in situ? Didn't do mine as P/X'd it for newer 4x4, so never got to find out how easy (or not) it was.

Very helpful. I will print this out for the mechanic who is going to do it - hopefully - next week. I was hoping he wouldn't need to drop the diff due to the problems this could cause to my (alread nosey) prop shaft; however he may need to.

This is still an expensive item, but less than 1/3rd Fiat's price: new, Panda 4x4 propshaft, unused, spotted on eBay (not mine)

Rear differential mounts fitted: its like a new car! All the nasty prop shaft rumble has gone. However, I now need a front wheel bearing. Im going to get both done. Any guesses for supply and fit for a pair for a 2005 4x4 Climbing?

Hi, having this problem myself, where did you buy from and what price? Thanks
