Показать описание
Part 1 of 2 - In this video I remove a rusty/corroded rear axle beam on a 2009 Fiat Panda. Other cars sharing this platform and also prone to the same issues include the Fiat 500, Ford Ka and Chrysler Ypsilon.

I also have replacement rear suspension components, including rear coil springs, rear shock absorbers and bump stops. I will replace brake components including rear brake shoes, rear brake drums, rear wheel cylinders, handbrake cables, spring kit, metal brake lines/pipes and bleed the brakes with fresh brake fluid. The wheel bearings will be replaced however the backplates and stub axles will be re-used, along with ABS wheel/speed sensor.

In Part 2, the axle beam will be refitted to the vehicle, along with the components detailed above.

Please conduct your own research, ensure you have the correct tools/necessary expertise and undertake your own due diligence before carrying out vehicle repairs.

Do you know the total cost of all the parts? I'm thinking of buying an old Panda as a project.

Attempting this with a friend over the weekend. Are the rear flexi hose and rear brake pipes something you need to buy? I've purchased the brake pipes, though unsure if this'll be enough.

Any idea where do you got those stub axle bolts from? Or do they come with the axle
