    Default Wishbones!! Fiat weakness?

    I know on my old coupe, the wishbones were a bit of a weak point and needed to be changed regulary.
    Is this the same with the stilo?

    I thought the tracking was out, but once up on the ramp the wheels were twitching, so they were unable to track for me.

    Im getting pretty uneaven tyre wear so is this the next protocol?

    I've had N/S one changed just before Chistmas at 58k on the clock.

    Big issue on the stilo and fiat did a bulletin on it..wishbones were repositioned ..every thing was slackened off and wishbones repositioned resulting in nothing..tyre ware issuse still persist..laser tracking and getting the car going in a straight line is important on the stilo..if you are still getting camber issuses then you could fit camber bolts to the front shocks to rectify this ..

    Cheers guys, Well i've had recently new tyres and bushes, along with new springs all round. May have to try camber bolts as i'd like to get it tracked due to the tramlining, and slight twitching under breaking. At speeds it's fine so it's limited to as what the problem can be surely.

    It's had both recalls and only done 55k since 2002. That sounds like typical Fiat, so i may have to stick with the problem. It wouldn't be so bad if the roads were fine :D
