    Hi all Question, i hear people say you need to do a wheel alignment check on 156/147/GT after changing shock, transverse arms or bushes. Now my question is how can new bushings or arms affect wheel alignment and if the alignment would be off, how can you adjust it on these cars?

    Hi all, my 156 1.6 needs new shock absorbers and possibly new springs. Is it worth buying sportspack shocks with eibach springs or should i just buy the standard shocks plus springs since im on a lower budget? What are some aftermarket options? Thanks in advance

    Hey all! We've owned our 147 for almost 2 years now after moving from the US to Sicily. It's been a great car. My wife uses it to drive clients around, and she's decided it's time to make some upgrades. It currently has 170k km on the odometer. The first thing to address is the suspension...

    Hi everyone, I've done a search and read through the existing threads but can't find anything specific for the GT 3.2. I have knocking on my right rear (6 months after fitting coilovers), and the conclusion after inspection is the top mount has worn out and now has excess travel causing the...

    Hello everyone, Just saw some wishbones with ball joints at the front top of Alfa Romeo 147 from the brand LOSTAR and I'm hearing it for the first time. On the wishbones, there are even greaser holes for the squeaking situation when It gets cold. The thing is that the price is way lower than...

    Hello. Know this can be tricky online but sometimes this forum can offer great insights. I think over the course of this year this noise has been getting worse. It is noticeable when I turn at low speeds and it sounds like it is coming from the front left hand side of the car. Video...

    Hi All We have a 2010 2.0jtdm SW . we have had an ongoing issue with a grinding /squeaking noise from the front passenger side , worse when going over bumps but constantly and irritatingly there . According to the two garages who have examined it , the suspension components are all tight and...

    I'm having trouble finding the correct replacement front upper control arms for my 2007 159 2.2jts. I have worn out ball joint on the other side and i might as well replace both sides at the same time but there seems to be a bit of variety to the arms. Some arms have the little notches on the...

    Video gonna be the best way for this one: https://photos.app.goo.gl/zZj74xgde5jPuAje6 Can only notice at low speed. Mechanic underneath on ramp can’t spot anything but also I couldn’t recreate the noise after it had been on the ramp.

  11. Alfa GTV & 916 Spider
    I recently installed new front and rear Supex springs and TRW shocks, new struts front, strut tops, tie rods, and all new bushings in the rear control arms, swinging arm and tie rod - everything either refurbished or new. It feels fine (great compared to how it was before) but I noticed the...

    Dear All Christmas project to swap suspension with KW V2, left hand side front swap went perfectly but with the right hand side whilst trying to get the shock out I think I have over extended something as now the assembly will not return to the upper wishbone. I was pulling down and out quite...
  13. Alfa Giulietta
    Around early September I had both front lower arms of my Giulietta replaced. Unfortunately rather than a subtle knock or clunk I now have a more pronounced knock around town or roads with changing camber. On the motorway, it's seldom heard. I have read a few threads on suspension noises here...
  14. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    I'm excited to get back to driving our 147 that we bought last April as we are moving to Sicily presently. It's in overall good condition with 158k on it. The shocks are still ok on it, but as it's going to be our daily I'd like it to have a bit better ride. Luckily it doesn't make any knocking...
  15. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hi Everyone, I am looking at suspension replacement options as I want to raise the car slightly (was lowered badly by previous owner) and have settled on the eibach springs from Squadra Sportiva (Alfa Tuning & Fanartikel Shop). However, there seem to be 2 good options for damping. As I've seen...
  16. Alfa MiTo
    Hello everyone, We've decided to build a race car from our MiTo 1.4 TBi 114kw for a hillclimb discipline. Right now we're consulting new suspension, however I would like to ask you whether it is possible to find somewhere suspension manufacturer's figures for unsprung mass or we will have to...

    I've decided my 2.2 SW is having "the works" this summer and would appreciate some recommendations on a new exhaust and suspension set up! I'd like to let the car sound a little more exciting without sounding too boy racer-ish. I'd love the car to sound a bit more raspy and a little more bass...
  18. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Hello everyone! I was enjoying my Italian beauty until recently. It developed a clunking sound at the front end and I thought "well Control arms it is then". But its strange. When I hit a pothole they clunk. When I hit a speed bump they dont. Every obstacle that makes the suspension go UPWARDS...

    Evening folks, well today I was given the fantastic news by the MOT tester that the front bushes on my front lower arms are destroyed and has cheekily quoted in the region of £900 to replace. I politely refused to have him change them, went and bought the wishbones myself for £150 total from...
  20. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    I’ve got a 2006 159 Sportwagon 2.2 with incorrect springs at the front! the car sits way too high and it’s become one of those passive annoyances i keep forgetting to deal with. i want to lower the fronts so they’re down to stock (or maybe very slightly lower) does anyone know the stock length...
