Title: Rear suspension bushes 1999 Ts 2.0 spider
Post by: The Count on March 26, 2016, 03:52:47 PM
I need to fit new rear suspension bushes to my lovely lady's 1999 TS 2.0 Spider. Have been told I may need to order them from the UK as the ones currently fitted squeak VERY loudly as vthey are not the correct ones. Any idea if these are available in OZ or will I need to order from OS?

Try the locals first, contact Ange or Marc at Italian Automotive Spares in Brunswick, Victoria.
These days it is almost quicker and cheaper to replace the arm itself, rather than just the bushes, although i am old school, and like to fix parts rather than replace, but with new arms, they will be straight, where the old ones may be bent, Colin.

Thanks Col... Will give them a try first.
BTW has anyone posted a "how to" on rear suspension for this model?
