Technical Rear axle replacement

[Jockstrap]

Looking for any advice on supplier and/or makes.

My 2008 1.4 is with discs. Idle moment of buy now and get the use, or hang on, life in the old girl yet. I wasn't on a dating site, I don't think .

In a nutshell. What to avoid and are all the made in China the same.

Is the Ka version a direct swap?

Thank and season's greetings.

Inundated with replies, so a general response.

Thanks.

A few 100hp Pandas with rear discs have had new from IM Axles

Might be worth enquiring if they do an axle for the disc braked 500?

I think they've recently started doing them for the 169 Panda, but it's different to the 500 (slightly narrower and no ARB)

The axle for drum braked 500s is the same as 312/319 Pandas and Ford Ka.

Drum brake axles have been fitted to 169s with discs, with a slot cut for ABS sensor. 500 might need the same?

IM has a mention on the 500 and does do a disc version.

I seem to recall a fitting adjustment required, maybe involving washers for spacers?

Thanks for your input.

IM do a disc version. Seem to recall a fitting issue needed adjusting with a spacer.

Anyway, not yet urgent.
