Title: Suspension bushes
Post by: thecolonel on July 13, 2009, 06:35:06 PM

Yes, Yes, I know it's not the write section, but everyone reads "General Discussion" so

does anyone have the oe part numbers for Beta front and rear suspension bushes.
reason being  the Gamma runs a very similar setup and if the numbers relate it's
another outlet for parts.

you are daft enough to think that gammas would use the same parts wasn't the car made by Italians??...seriously when I have the time I'll check for you got gamma and beta books and fiches

I've quickly checked series one gamma against an early series two beta parts books it would appear that there are no common parts however this doesn't necessarily mean none will fit Lancia changed part numbers like the wind on the beta often each series or sub-series will have differing part numbers/ slightly different parts ...the joys of Italian motoring!!

Thanks,

I had thought that
 
silentblock 82323112 (front wishbone)
silentblock 82320406 (rear transverse link)
silentblock 82320238 (rear cross-member)
silentblock 82315794 (rear arb/hub)
arb bracket 82317097

might have been the same, purely on the "they all look alike to me" scenario

82320406 does seem the same but it seems to be the bush for PRESSED type arms on a beta which is a bit odd

82315794 is the same

bit unsure about the one that fits pressed arms on a beta wouldn't surprise me if the polybush version wouldn't fit a gamma as the shape of the polybushes are different
