Turb,

Look at this ; http://131mirafiori.com/smf/index.php?topic=2719.15 ( all pages)

There is a funny mounting which probably comes from a tractor (not kidding) !

Hey,

Another major question :

Can I use the original sway bar or do I need to come with something else.

Will the original 131 sway bar fit  ?

Can it be modified  to fir ?

Can I use 132 sway bar ?

Any suggestions where I can get one that fits ?

Hey

If they could take the diff from a truck and put it into its top rally car , nothing is impossible !

Opps, sorry,  just realised I've repeated one of Testaments original questions!
But I am refering to the actual fixing point on the lower control arm, looks like the arm maybe a one off casting.

Guys, three issues

# 1 -  (Re : A and B on attached picture)
          Can anybody provide measurement (diameter) of these rods ?  

# 2 - (Re :C on attached picture) 
          I have located manufacturer of such uniball connectors in Poland .
          Can anybody provide  more detailed measurements of the ones used in 131 Abarth.

# 3 - (Re: A on the attached picture)
          Can anybody provide the length of this rod ?

a) does it really mater what's the lenght? it needs to be as long as it has to be to reach the chasis leg. diameter is probably the same as sway bar since it goes into same hole
b) standard 131 sway bar perhaps?
c) are you sure it's a uniball conecting rod? seems to me that all other joints are with standard rubber bushings. such connectors are quite common on newer cars

The uniball links are standard rose joints M8 with rubber boots. The length will come by itself when you get those links as all of them are the same.
