Rear suspension bushes

Hi, how easy is it to change these, does it need to go to a Fiat garage or can it be done at home? thanks

Cool Re: Rear suspension bushes

Havn't done it [fingers crossed] yet but I think you are going to drop the back axle beam completely of the car

Hi!
It took Vospers Fiat in Pool, Cornwall a whole day - "the hardest part was removing the worn bushes", "there's a 'special' extraction tool, which Fiat haven't sent to us". they said they ended up burning them out in the end.

See "Rear Axle, Bushes - A BIG Thanks!"
