Technical Strange suspension lower arm problem

[The Panda Nut]

Thanks, that's quite useful, though not sure I can set the height to the recommended micrometre before tightening the bolts. Setting it to 187.485mm made me smile.

The bare faced gall of teh Fiat people giving silly figures like this while fiting plasticine suspension parts..... I agree that less than 80K miles on this sort of part is either because you drive on farm tracks 90% of the time or because the car was not fit for purpose when sold! Its annoying if you can do it yourself, but crippling financially if its a recurring job, which it shouldnt be!

Your MOT tester needs new glasses. The variation in MOT test standards is concerning.
