Post by: dombooth on February 05, 2016, 10:21:01 PM

Has anyone found out somewhere to get a set of these illusive bushes?

Cheers

They don't look like the ones that came out, but they do look like the ones on ePer though.

Naa, they never replied to me.

Well, you learn something new every day!


It appears there are 2 different types of rear shock on the BIS according to Fiat ePer:

7591373 – tapered bottom bushes
7595878 – cylindrical bottom bushes (this one was on my 126)
 
The ones Ricambio have in stock are the tapered bushes: LINK (http://www.ricambio.co.uk/69-fiat/72-classic-fiat-126-parts/501-bushes-and-silent-blocks/1154-rear-shock-absorber-rubber-bushes--fiat-126-classic-panda-lancia-y10)

Ricambio also sell the tapered type of shock here: LINK (http://www.ricambio.co.uk/69-fiat/72-classic-fiat-126-parts/162-suspension/1163-rear-shock-absorber--fiat-126)

So I suppose I'll be buying a pair of those type of shocks then!

Even @gadge didn't know this!

I misheard Ricambio yesterday.

The only rear shocks available are the cylindrical type complete with bushes.  You can't buy the bushes separately.

I was in the same situation as you with my BIS. I ended up having to change my whole rear shock absorbers just to get the bushes changed.

I called up ricambio and they do the type where the bush has been pre-installed into the shock. This saves time, and they are a perfect fit.

If somebody sold the bush on its own we wouldn't have to change the shock each time, but my shocks were very old looking so I'm thinking I probably did the car a favour anyway.

I did get in touch with Polybush but they wanted a minimum order of 200 for a one off...
