Was looking at that. It looks to me nothing like it should. The big bar makes me think its not the independent rear suspension that it should be!

I emailed the seller and he said it came off a 2003 Sei.

Arc,

I heard something about the rear radius arms on a Seicento being different to the ones on a cinq.

HTH

David

it looks more like..well, totally different. i can't remeber the proper terms.. is it called an active rear axle when they link them like that? are they even radius arms, or is it torsion beams?

edit:

its just a silly photo angle aint it?

The beam is there on a cinqy too, it's what the shocks and arms attach to.
The rear arms have different sized bushes in to a Cinq though, if it's from a mk2.

Hi Pete
Good job you said that my new rear axle is from a mk2 and i`ve removed the bushes to fit powerflex ones and i was going to order cinque ones,i hope they make them for mk2 sei`s otherwise i`ve f**ked my rear arms
Cheers
Adrian
P.s Bugger i`ve just checked powerflex`s site and they don`t do seicento bushes

The picture shows the assembly from an angle you can't normally see, looking down on it from above. Normally the boot floor would get in the way.

Cheers

I`ve just been outside and measured the the tubes the bushes mount in on my car (96 cinq) and the ones on my spare rear arms (mk2 sporting)and they are both the same size externally are they different internally?
Cheers
Adrian

Hi
My powerflex bushes came today (cinque fitment)and they will fit my seicento rear beam(mk2) with no problems,so i`m assuming they changed the rear arms part way through production
Cheers
Adrian

Cheers Adrian, I may have been misinformed then!

I was told by someone that they needed to shorten the metal tubes inside the Powerflex bush to get them in. A mate also measured up the same tube against his rear arms on an 02 plate Sei and said they were different.

Apologies for any confusion!

No worries Pete
Fiat probably changed the arms at some point or maybe non sporting sei`s are different?
Cheers
Adrian
