Does anybody have or know of anywhere I can get OSR trailing arm or ideally a pair of?
Also does anyone know if these are the same on all models or are they specific? e.g. different for a selecta and a clx
Also could someone have a look at ePer for me and let my know the part no. cause I can never get it to work for me.

Thankyou :)
 
Hello there.

Classic Panda's do not have trailing arms. Can we take it that you are referring to the Omega axle assy or the rear tie bars?

Regards.
 
go figure, I went and asked about 'radius arms' recently too and my local dealership went 'do you mean trailing arms' too. Must be what eper calls them. Spot on on the price though, quoted me £78 a side.

Radius arms is the most correct term if we have to choose one in my opinion. The mk1 Pandas had leaf springs at the rear, so didn't have these arms hence missing from the rear suspension section in a Haynes manual. However, they are in the rear supplement section of later (blue/green/brown) Haynes manuals along with a lot of the modern stuff like our engines, etc. If I want something from the Haynes manual I tend to go straight to the back!
 
Fiat refer to them as 7555570 " Strut "

The Omega Axle assy is 7666760, referred to as " Crossrail "

The Eper appears to have been writen by people who have little understanding of cars or car parts.

If anyone wishes to look at a " trailing arm " they should take a look at the rear of a Punto.

Rgds.

I have 2 Haynes Manuals, blue and green. Both are supposed to cover models up until 1994 yet they still only have leaf springs in them. Bloody useless!

I have sourced some from a breaker......£15 each.....think I will get them and give them a good clean and some protective coating before I get them fitted.

Thanks guys :)
 
Get your green manual and try looking at section 13: Supplement: Revisions and information on later models.

Next, look for the spotlight title 16 Rear suspension - Omega type. These are in grey boxes throughout the section.

I've got both your manuals - it is in there!
