(G) Sub frame bushs, where from???

I thought my rear arms were going again. had a good look and my rear sub frame on my 5dr is coming away on the passenger side.



Where and how much are they. and will I have to remove the WHOLE thing inc brake pipes and the handbrake cables (a pain, and will probably break when I remove them )

What ones front or back ?

As fronts you can get replacement bushes to go over the existing ones and take up the play.

www.shop4parts.co.uk

grrr internet keeps going down whilst I type this.


tried shop4 and I think its the front bush.

its located just above and infront of the rear left arm bolt/mounts.

£7.14 is bargainous.



Just worried that it may require the whole subframe being removed to get enough access to the bush so I can get it replaced.

And is there much point going for the modified *fit over* bush when the cost difference is nill.
or when the old bush is removed from the frame will it damage the hole/mount???


Any chance you have a eper parts diagram page so I can tell which it is (front or rear).

If its the front ones and you havent fitted replacement bushes before then all you have to do is drop the bolt out of the subframe, lower it, fit new bush over old one and then refit bolt.

* Note without seeing it im just guessing this is the problem and whats needed to cure it.

cheers goldie.

thats the haynes pic isn't it???

either way, its defo the front one. although I may as well relplace the rear whilst I'm there, don't want to have to do the job twice or more


when you say 'lower it' you mean the front end of the subframe??
how far, and do you think this will disturb the solid brake lines (they are OK and about 2years old back there, but still, don't fancy having to do them *again* ).

Yes its from the haynes manual.

Ive neverknown the rears to go.

Yes i mean the front end of the subframe and as far down as you need to get the bush over the old one i did mine with brake lines in place etc and had no problems.

You could always get some polyurethane bushes from Demon Tweeks.

have you got a catalogue link, as I can't navigate the tweaks website, tis a mess.


if I could get near solid poly jobs I would. but I've already ordered a repair bush, a new front and a new rear. and I'll send back what I don't use, all base's covered as it were

use the repair caps, you just remove bolt and washer, fit cap, then replace bolt and washer. to refit a complete mount you will need to make a special tool to fit them.

That should be the right link for Mk1 punto bushes

Buy the "Resilent bushing" with original Fiat part number 310046476755. Unscrew the two bolts Goldie marked on the picure...place the "cups" over and put the bolts back on. 5 mins job - and takes away the "klang klang" sound. You don't have to think about the rear ones, they will not wear and make a problem.

cool, I'll have a bash at just the repair cups when they arrive then.


cheers fellas, I'll let you know how I get on. and the bushs I don't need I'll just send back, shouldn't be any problem

BALZ!!!!!


I only ordered 1x repair bush

These things happen...but it was the one on passenger side that was worst wasn't it? Change that one and the other a few day's after then it arrives. No danger driving with it like that, I was listening to it for 6 months before I changed them spending money on spoiler and wheels/lowering, etc. meanwhile.

thats what I've been doing.

it started going in about june

car hasn't done much milage up until the last few weeks, i've clocked up 2000miles in about 9/10 days

so I haven't bothered. but now, its driving me mad
