I agree the subframe should last the car's lifetime but Fiat say you can't put more than one set of replacement bushes into it, so if those replacement bushes wear out you can't put another set in. What do you do if this happens?

I had a new subframe fitted under warranty, to my 02 1.2 stilo, because of squeaky bushes. The car completed 155k more miles before I sold it . New bushes do last a while.!

It’s a 53 plate. If there the originals and just need changing I’d be surprised. Only don’t 56k however... but did need the front nearside wishbone changing.

Mine was an 02. Very early model. Probably from the first production as the previous owner was FiatGB. I had the subframe replaced at about 10k miles.
as for wishbones 2 on n/s and one o/s replaced while i had the car. I recommend shop4parts for quality aftermarket parts.
