General Buying a Marea

[Sorum91]

Hi, I thinking of buying a marea S Wweekend ELX, but I have to replace the front bushing in the rear suspension, both sides.
So, does anyone know a place where I can buy this cheap?
they costs a fortune in norway, about 1000 british pounds

hope to hear good news

Do you mean the part that joins the subframe to the body, or the swingarm to the subframe?

The subframe to body bushes are not available and the only option is to buy a full subframe, or have some bushes manufactured to fit. Easier (or maybe just cheaper) to find a Marea/Bravo/Brava with good condition bushes and swap them.

If you mean the swingarm pivot bushes they're about £30 each.

Not quite sure, but it's the bush who is mounted closest to the front of the car in the rear suspention, and there are one on each side.

sorry for my english, not easy to find the right technical terms when I only use english while on this forum

It might help if the part shows on this picture, you can just tell us which number it is and we can try to help further

Thanks stuartH, I didn't find that picture, and I see that I need the whole frame

but, anyway, it's the bushing near number 1.

once again thanks

If you check out www.fccuk.org/forum or something like that you should end up on the Fiat Coupe owners site.
Someone on there is having solid bushes made from aluminium made up and there alot cheaper that the full lot Fiat only sell.
They should fit Marea's as the set up is more or less the same on both cars.


Just remembered you need to be a member and it should be in the Grooup Buys section...
