How to Adjust the Vehicle's Suspension Height

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Suspension system

Adjusting the vehicle's suspension is a modification that can cause various serious issues, so it is advisable only for experienced individuals. Remove the front suspension and unsolder the spring retaining plate, then re-solder it 5 or 6 centimetres higher. For the rear suspension adjustment, you need to work on the leaf spring mounts. These mounts should be extended by about 8 or 10 centimetres, so it is necessary to create extensions to attach to the original supports to allow for this modification. For those who want to tackle very challenging off-road routes, it is advisable to protect the engine and transmission components by fitting a robust metal guard underneath the bodywork. After making the modifications, it is essential to check the wheel alignment and fit suitable tyres.
