Puma rear axle beam

PUREtom · 17-02-2005, 04:19 PM

Quick question,

are all puma rear axle beams the same?
And are the puma rear beams for bush type shocks or fork type?

Please help

Thank you

no they arent all the same!

depends on whether or not its the early or the late puma. the suspension arrangement that connects to the axle. the early axles use spacers behind the breaks, these can be removed whereas the late pumas have the spacer welded on to the actual axle!

i have an early puma but i have the later type suspension setup but off the fiesta as it doesnt have the spacers on it, so it works better with the rear disc set up off a focus as! hope this helps a little!

doubt thats the case as the puma is based on the mk4/5 fiesta, there are 3 types, the mk4 fitment (fork), the mk5 (eye), and the mk5 z-s/puma (eye and stiffened)

IIRC for a mk3 fiesta you need the mk5 eye type
