Hi,

I have just purchased a 1999 fiat punto 1.2 sporting. We knew that a bush on the drivers side and the CV joint ( think thats what its called ) needs replacing due to the owner before going into a curb. It is possible that the chassis has been bent. What else on the car does this effect and how much and where could I possibly get it fixed? I cannot find anything on the internet to help me, so please help!

Thanks

Gemma

For the chassis to be bent the previous owner would have to the cub hard. Have the chassis looked at by a shop. I serched around a little and found that flex joint for that car runs about $28.00 and just the u joint is about $16.50. You can look them up on fiatparts. Com, they also have some fiat parts on e-bay.
