Technical Disappearing rear subframe

[auto_blanco]

If we're talking rear ones 156 has central mounted 2 piece single wishbones and mcpherson struts?

Know as much as they're a pain to fit poly bushes to!

they sure are, my mums 147 wore out its central rear bushes twice in 20k miles on the roads round here so we went poly, a right PITA!

I'm not gonna fit this myself. Is it a big job for a garidje ?

How did Abarelli Autos of Essex get this off the donor car - pack it up - then send it me in Leeds - for £52? Here it is on arrival, a sound specimen off a bravo or similar. I ground off the rust, coated it in 2 coats of zinc rich paint and had it garage fitted it - along with 2 new trailing arm bearings. No more bangs from the back - and my wheels are vertical again !!

Not impressed with the flimsy coat of original factory black paint - which must be why they get shot...

Thanks for your help. Judging by the bearings compatibility list, the same arrangment is on numerous cars, most recent being the Multiplia.
