Just fixing a punto 52 plate 1.8 hgt abarth for a friend.

It's had new springs and there catching the inside of the strut tunnel/inner wing.

Now I think it may of had just a generic punto spring, I just wondered if they were different on the hgt abarths? Cheers

 

Have you just not got the spring platform in wrong position mate ??

 

You could have them upside down av had that before on other cars mate

 

the springs were just stiffer iirc.

 

Thanks folks. I'll turn them upside other way round and try that. He only bought it today so thought id ask for him

Thanks for the input.

 

i worked at a fiat garage for 11 years and ive come across this before the top mount has a pointer on it, i cant remember if it points at the wheel or forward but if its not lined up you will get symptoms like you describe.
