Spring pan bush replacement

Spring pan bush replacement

These guides serve as an introduction into various Alfa maintenance tasks, and are designed to give Alfa owners a better understanding of the work that is involved. These are not full Alfa Romeo workshop manuals, where you will find the official techniques, technical specs and important safety considerations, which we would recommend you study before attempting any of these tasks.

First make sure you have the correct bushes and you know where they go, the bushes are different at either end of the spring pan

Press out the existing worn bushes

When the bushes are out it should look like this

Clean up the welds that secure the eye to the spring pan so the spring pan sits level on the press

Dress the hole to make sure it is clean and rust free

Press in the new bush, making sure that the press only pushes on the outer ring of the bearing, DO NOT use the centre of the bearing to push the bush in because:-
1 You will damage the bush
2 It will not go in straight

Make sure both of the bearings are central in their housings.

A quick coat of paint and then you can refit the spring pan to your car.
