Front Hub Support Revision

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Axle shaft

The hub support plate integrates a spherical joint that tends to wear and develop play over time: it is possible to purchase a new support plate complete with joint in the aftermarket, but to replace it, it is necessary to remove the bracket and hub completely from the vehicle. Once the bracket with the hub is on the bench, unscrew the four fixing pins of the bracket to the hub and, proceeding in reverse, install the new bracket complete with joint. It is recommended to perform the same maintenance on the other wheel to provide symmetrical stiffness to the front end.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
