autodoc.co.uk you should have applied theoretical load to the front bush, now, when the vehicle is placed on the ground the bush will twist and when going over uneven surfaces if will eventually tear the front bush.

In addition to being a lifelong shadetree car mechanic and now a professional aeroplane mechanic I will tell you that double-clicking or triple-clicking a torque wrench is incorrect and will always result in a higher torque than desired. The only correct method is to turn very slowly and to click ONCE.

This would be a great time to install the DNA tubular LCA's (modular ball joints and better handling) and perhaps an aftermarket FMIC (more boost and cooler intake temps). If a stock part needs replacing my rule of thumb is to look at aftermarket performance first. particularly when Fiat is considered, there is a vast aftermarket for this car and your factory parts are needlessly expensive with poor quality at best.

Arts&Trusts The primary reason is a worn ball joint, which Fiat has made an integral part of the wishbone, which requires the whole part to be replaced. Not that big of a deal if it weren’t for the major surgery required to get at that front bolt.

Wrong method to install the lower arm . Front hinge of the control arm was tightened incorrectly at fully extended position which will cause the rubber bushing under stress at normal arm position. This arm rubber bushing will fail very soon .

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, you are right. The control tightening of the suspension mountings is carried out when the car is on wheels under a load of its own weight. We will take it into consideration for our next tutorial. Best regards, Autodoc Team.

You're correct Anthony and it's just how I've done the job too. Because of the ridiculous hidden bolt for the front hinge, I had to jack up under the ball joint until the weight of that corner was taken up before tightening the bolt. On any other car I've done, you can tighten these bolts as the very last step while the car is sat on the ground on its own 4 wheels. Stupid design.

Trust me if your replacing the arms spend the extra upgrade the arm bushes. the standard fiat ones are not strong enough and wear out very quickly. I wore a new pair out in 10k miles steady driving replace the bushes for powerflex fast road bushes this will rectify the problem. £110 for all 4 bushes

Watching this video confirmed that the 15mm side member nuts are indeed welded to the side members, and that shot down any idea of a cheat of being able to remove just one side control arm and leaving the front bumper fascia on the vehicle .😡

Worst torque wrench technique I have ever seen. We have no idea how much torque was applied. All we know for sure is that he applied WAY more than the wrench was set to.

Briefly, the Fiat 500 is a poorly and cheaply designed piece of shit designed to maximise the transfer of money from consumer to manufacturer and seller. Any job on a Fiat like this, you should grease the hell out of everything on reassembly, as rust never sleeps.
