Technical Suspension Springs

Hi all, does anyone know if Tipo springs will fit an Uno?

I have a 1.7 Diesel Uno, so I'm guessing it will need to be 1.7 Tipo springs...

No

Cheers, I take it thats a definate then?

 

[SteveNZ]

yes


Tipo springs are interchangeable with many Fiat's but not Unos.

Cheers, do you, or anyone else, know if any other models used the same springs as the Uno?

Anyone know of a website where I can find out the part numbers for Uno Springs? Cheers.

OE or aftermarket?

Unos have unique springs not shared with any other cars. Even other Uno based chassis e.g. Penny have different springs.

Why do you want to fit springs from another car in your Uno anyway? Why dont you just get Uno specific springs or get something made.

I was asking because many car manufacturers use the same parts on many models, to save design and manufacturing costs, etc.

My Uno has been lowered by the previous owner, I want the springs back to standard, I am having trouble trying to locate second hand springs, as its for the 1.7 diesel model, and was hoping not to shell out of brand new springs...
