Hi there, I'm looking for a rear axle for my 1.6 Multipla 55 plate please.
Be grateful for any advice in sourcing one, new, reconditioned or good used condition. Bought one, but it was damaged unfortunately. Ta

Thanks to replies below...

A few years ago I bought a new one from partsworld-uk. I successfully fitted this to a 54-plate (square nose).
Unfortunately:
a) partsworld are on 'backorder' for this, and
b) partsworld no longer offer a fiatforum discount.
But it gives an idea of pricing for a new unused one.

Reply: Thanks Chr1s.
£949.99 is pretty expensive, mmm... and there is no hurry as MOT is Friday. LOL Thx, C

jackwhoo:Is it radius arm you are after?
Cheers Jack
Reply: Hi Jack, no it's the whole axle unfortunately.
I bought one from Italy with no rust, but it was damaged from a previous repair with angle grinder cuts and bent metal to the swing arm bolt area.
Looking for a good or reconditioned one upto £500.
Thanks for asking. Carlo

Posted by spudit2003: Hi, (forum wont let me post) Theres a couple on ebay, they are in Italy but free delivery to UK https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383523501932
There was a new one available last year on ebay, was ~£500. Look at what widemouthfrog recommends with regard to them, as in the UK they will eventually rust away, so getting it powdercoated or otherwise protected is a good idea. Other than that just look for any scrappers on ebay, but as most multiplas end up in the scrapyard because of subframe rust, you're not likely to find too much. If the bumpstop holder is what has rusted, you can buy just that bit new for around £50 and weld it on. If you want the details of that part I can look it up for you (as I have concluded that I am going to either buy that part or get a garage to fabricate a replacement, then sand blast the subframe before protecting it in some way).

I'll check out what 'widemouthfrog' recommends.

Yes, I bought one from Italy - long story short - it was rust free, yay, but damaged from a previous repair. Had angle grinder cuts and bent metal to a swing arm bolt hole area. Seems genuine supplier and gave me a refund after I couldn't repair it, as it needed pressing straight and welding £££s. So a bit reluctant to try again. Felt bad for seller as £150 postage wasted, unfortunately. It may say 'Free Shipping' but the £150 P&P cost is included in price. A little inspection would have saved us both...
It'll interesting to know how you get on. Many Thanks, Carlo
