Panda front legs

[Requoil]

Can anyone tell me if the front suspension legs on 2006 Pandas are the same for all models?

I have a multijet and can access some secondhand legs but they are not off a diesel. If they are not the same, could I use petrol model legs and swap the coil springs over?

Thanks

The only model (as far as I can tell) which has a potentially different front arm to the rest is the 100HP (1.4 16v), all others share the same part number on ePER.

When you say "different front arm" we are talking about the suspension leg/strut ? What I would call a MacPherson strut,

If so, then thank you, that has answered my question

Sorry, brain fart. I thought you meant the swinging arm

Just looked at Shop4Parts and they list the same part number for both 1.2 and 1.3 front shock absorber, so yes they are interchangeable.

So I can use 1.2 petrol for my diesel multijet but not the 1.1 petrol, is this correct?

1.1 would work too, I suspect 1.4 would also physically fit but you might find it rides a bit harder (set up for a sportier ride)

Thank you guys

Fiat list a lot of different part numbers for petrol, diesel, with/without aircon, etc.
Aftermarket tend to list one for all.
There will be minor differences in damping rates for OE, but aftermarket go for a best compromise.
Springs do differ according to their load, so an aircon vehicle needs slightly stiffer ones for the extra weight, as does a diesel.
As long as you get a pair from the same vehicle, and they are a pair, not one OE and one aftermarket, you'll probably never notice the subtle difference.
