Hi
Have recently got a 1994 panda cox in generally very good condition
Having changed the 25 year old tyres and changed the ( black!) brake fluid I noticed that the centre of the rear bottom bump stop in which the rear spring sits has corroded away.
Access seems straightforward but what is the proper name for the part and where can I get it ? I suspect it could be an MOT fail in a couple of weeks

There may be a better way, but what I do is try to find the part number from ePer on the Forum (link above) - you really need to know your Panda version to ID the right bit & then search for it on eBay or just google it...assuming yours is a 4x4 and if this link works ePer shows this - 'rubber pad' part number 5976140

If it is that part following a brief google looks like there's no problem getting them from Italy or Germany - but on this site there is a list of helpful suppliers to check out...Ricambio for one - obviously postage from abroad can whack the cost up - would've thought you should be able to get this bit(if it is the right one) in UK. Best of luck with the MOT

No, not that part, I know what you mean. Not available separately, Fiat consider it an integral part of the rear axle. It is repairable however, that section is only spot welded in place to start with so perfectly acceptable for MOT to have a welded repair. Been done before and pretty well illustrated here:

Thanks for the feedback, it is just a standard panda, the 4x4 is stored and waiting restoration by my son in the future.
The stop at the bottom of the springs looks like an inverted pudding basin in the centre of the spring seating.
I was hoping to get a replacement,but being lazy and also getting rather mature I prefer the easy way,but having seen how straightforward it appears to drop the rear subframe I may end up welding/ fabricating a replacement.

Sorry to misunderstand....my speciality! I was lucky when mine went as Partsworld had new axles going , only other way is to weld which is covered pretty well here. I had problems with rubbers & washers at top of springs I seem to remember, problems sourcing new parts, fingers crossed yours are ok
