Get the bushes from Desira. And while your sorting them and they are a pig to do, look at your rear shocks. Sedici rears seem to go soft quickly and spoil the handling. You can feel a problem as the rear tends to sag into corners and you can feel it almost steering from the rear.

ok some helpmy car just passed its ot woo hoo had to change the passenger side swing arm as you cant buy the bushes seperately.

firstly was the problem of finding one, fiat uk has a back order of these for the sedi, but was told the 1.9 td would fit and they do!!

my problem is the wheel seems to st very far out now, i've owned 4 sedi's now and none have stuck so far out. the wheel now hits off the lip of the arch. i have 205/40/17's but my car isnt lowered. could it be that i have made my wheel base slightly bigger by using the td swing arm??

sumplug/sedicirich/anyone help?????

sounds like a coupe arm or an alfa 145 arm, they have extra track width. Personally I wouldnt worry and get the arches rolled, extra rear track is no big deal. I hope both sides have been changed?? If not get a second hand coupe arm to replace the tipo one.

But you can buy the bushes separately!

I replaced the ones on my TD. Got them from a motor factors. Think they're the same as Marea/Bravo/Brava bush replacement kits.

As for rolling the arches... as long as there is some arches to roll! Ones on my Sedici were shot before they were rebuilt.

my arches have just been built again as some ars drove into the rear quarter of my car. its gettin a full resparay in the nxt couple of weeks!! as for the swing arm the other 1 is getting done next week1

is the rear bush the one available from shop4parts ... costs £18 + P&P & vat.

doesn't seem that difficult to find.

 

[tipoboy]

tried them got the same answer as i got from desira...you cant actually buy the bushes seperately from the arm anymore.

 

[Hellcat]

It's the same rear bush kit as used on the Bravo/Brava/Marea.

Avaialble from all good motof factors.

Yep Bravo/Brava/ Marea use very similar suspension to Tipo.
