yeah i know luckily the front shocker took most of the brunt of the knock, as you can see,, the rear wheel just brushed it, as soon as the new rims are on ive arranged for a heathcheck on the car at fiat, plus a 4 wheel setup on tracking,

one thing i remember when fitting the yakuza alloys first off was asking about the clearance between the rear arch inside walls and the distance between that and the tyre wall, which was 10mm, i did a check tonight and it is still the same 10mm, so it looks like its fine, but i will still get it checked for peace of mind, end of the day if it needs a new rear subframe, then a new rear subframe it is, pain in the arse thing is ive just seen a new one sell on ebay for 70 quid


cheers for the advice!

Re: Rear torsion beam question??

Right, and update.. ive done some research and found that:


The stilos rear subframe is adjustable up to 12 mm horizontal throw... purely just by the mounting points to the chassis,... undone 8 bolts and shifted the rear beam 7mm to the right... and running far straighter than ever...

will get some pics up soon..
