How to replace rear springs and shocks on a Fiat Panda 4x4 - UK Panda 4x4

[@BrensRCracing]

Full walk round video ....and things to look out for as a new buyer on a panda 4x4 would be a great video....this one 10/10 easy to follow what you did for anyone doing the same ...top job pal.

[@X1S1]

After watching your videos i just bought a panda 4x4

[@jackhume4532]

Only positives from myself, I have always liked the mk 3 panda and maybe 🤔 at some point I would like to have a test drive and possibly purchase one and with 4 wheel drive , however the work that you’ve done on your vehicle 🚗 seems to be really easy to do so yeah you did a great video with no long winded explanations of what you were doing and the camera angles were spot on and I would to see some more like it please.

[@UKPanda4x4]

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

[@ianwatson3315]

How did you do the lift? What sz tyres ?

[@abufrancesco1939]

Hi mate , well done from Italy 🇮🇹

[@marcobraga68]

Thanks so much! This is exactly the upgrade I was about to make! Greetings from Italy

[@Lena-mf7my]

⁠​⁠thanks for the video!! Love yours and want my panda 169 also look a bit more off-road…what kind of tires are these?

[@GrandadBaz]

Thanks very much for this video. Ive been thinking about changing the rear shocks and springs on our Panda Cross. Thanks for sharing and keep em coming

[@LastOfTheLookers1]

The only difficult bit is fitting the new springs but it just takes muscle rather than skill or experience. It's an easy job only requiring simple hand tools so go for it!

[@GrandadBaz]

@@LastOfTheLookers1 I have some straps that I use when removing coil springs and refitting them. They worked on Land Rover Discovery springs so they shouldn't have any problems with the Panda ones. Where did you get the Springs and Shocks from?

[@LastOfTheLookers1]

@@GrandadBaz KYB springs from Autodoc, B4 shocks from Bilstein

[@GrandadBaz]

@@LastOfTheLookers1 Thanks very much for the reply Ben.

[@SegugioGarage]

Well done! Did you use standard height shock absorbers with this lift spacers?

[@LastOfTheLookers1]

Yes the springs are made by KYB and are the ones recommended for a stock Panda 4x4. The shocks are Bilstein B4's and are for a stock Panda 4x4 straight from the Bilstein website.

[@michaelhicks708]

Really enjoyed the video especially when watching somebody else do all the work! Regards Mick

[@mondodaftasabrush]

Just looking for inspiration as my 4x4 panda has a funny noise on the rear I think its nsr its like a horses hoof trotting ? wheel bearing ? CV joint ? brake calliper ? just replaced the centre prop shaft bearing ... it maybe the tyre but its a brand new ? ... been stood for a few months since winter which probably doesn't help

[@stevejohnson1797]

Great vidio and great car too! I had the old shape panda many years ago and i loved it.. would like one that shape now. It looks just as capable how you have it.

[@LastOfTheLookers1]

Check out our other videos to see how it stacks up against the classic Pandas off road

[@DuncanGriggs-r1c]

Hello, great video thanks. Can you tell me what size tyres and wheels you have on your panda, please? I've got a MK3 2013 diesel and want to put some steel wheels and grippy tyres for off-road.

[@UKPanda4x4]

We have a video explaining all of the modifications on this car

[@Pikestnt]

Great video. You showed everything I needed to know. Thanks

[@chrisgroves4266]

Fantastic good informative video only thing I would say is tighten the shock bolts when there is load on them

[@FabiusPyromanus]

Thanks for providing many subtitles.!

[@babywolf9893]

Very nice mate ❤ I plan to get one of these,just wonder if yours have diff lock? Can you go off road with no diff lock 4x4 panda? Becoz the one I plan to get have no diff lock

[@UKPanda4x4]

No Pandas have locking diffs. The Mk4s and some Mk3s have ELD (electronic locking differential) which uses the ABS system to simulate a locking diff or LSD but both differentials on all Pandas are open. They cope just fine off road as you can see from our videos 👍

[@emanuelepirrotta9221]

Ciao che rialzi monti ?? Complimenti

[@gavinwilliams8247]

Great video thank you, I think I'll be investing in a lift, did you have to trim the arches?

[@malmobalsam]

where did you get the caps you use on your wheels? looks great!

[@UKPanda4x4]

They are from an Uno (I think) found on eBay

[@J88-q7o]

Im gonna get a panda like this one. I have a panda 1.4 but I really like the idea of a 4x4 panda. I would like to turn it into a rally/track car What’s the widest tyre size that would fit with enough clearance?

[@UKPanda4x4]

The width of a tyre is only one factor. You need to consider the tread height, wheel width, tyre profile and whether or not you want to use hub spacers or not. www.willtheyfit.com is a great site for researching non standard wheel/tyre options. There is only so much research you can do before you need to just fit a tyre and see if it works.

[@stephencordell6661]

Hi great video and really useful keep them coming please.

[@damirivancic4964]

were can i buy springs like this?

[@dg115]

Nice work, I'm looking to get one myself at some point my budget would be up to 5k max. I've been looking at the twin air versions? Any advice on which one to go for and why, Thanks

[@UKPanda4x4]

There was no TwinAir Mk3 (169). You would need a Mk4 (319). Our Facebook group is the best place for information. Use the search function as many people have asked this question before.

[@hairychris21]

Loving your work! Keep it up 👍🏼

[@piotrnowak8803]

Jaki rozmiar opon?

[@savbenedetto3528]

Io ho da poco preso una panda 4x4 seconda serie usata Cosa mi consigliate di fare come modifiche? Non abito in montagna abito a Milano Italia ma vado spesso nelle montagne che ci sono in confine con la Svizzera

[@JoeStottUK]

Great video m8.. more hands on like this please

[@pabloa1422]

truly a great job and great business! I am so interested in all the changes you have made to your panda. what kind of tires do you mount? which brand?

[@SC-ov4hx]

Great video,well explained in a chilled-clear way. Keep on that way please! Some (and always many) questions regarding the lift since I am in the process of fitting them and therefore I search for the realistic truth. Do you have any noticeable drawbacks regarding camber angles, shortage of driveshafts, degradation of bushings/ball-joints/bearings, increased bump-stop noises? If so are there any remedies to the above e.g camber-bolts, lubricating joints more often, etc.? What about the ARB, is it better to use spacers for it as well? Many cheers

[@UKPanda4x4]

Camber is not great, with road tyres on, I get heavy wear on the outside of the front wheels. I haven't looked at fixing this as the car doesn't do many miles. The OSF driveshaft hits the control arm with a 30mm lift. 20mm is the recommended maximum from my point of view. The anti roll bar also hits the control arms on both sides, I have some shorter droplinks to be fitted to try and raise the ARB a bit to give more clearance. On compression the suspension is very smooth with no harsh bottom out (new Bilstein shocks all round and new springs)

[@TheAlexduc]

Hello mate , cheers from Greece, just bought a panda 1.3 mtj climb and I m searching for tyres...how did you manage to put a/t tyres on the small beast? Thanks in advanced

[@mscoffi]

Cool, but may-be you could have compressed the springs with strong zipties. It might have made the job a little easier! Nice job anyway!

Thanks for posting. Just one criticism, the music was a bit too intrusive.

[@Andrzej_173]

Please tell me what rubber gaskets did you use under the springs.I dont have Facebook please tell me heare on KZbin

Could you make a tutorial on how to lift your car. I have a 4x4 van stock, and i'd like to raise it for 3 to 5 cm, and i dont even know where to start 🥺

[@UKPanda4x4]

We will be making a video focusing on the lifted silver Mk3 at some point

We don't use WD-40, we use penetrating oil, which is the right thing for the job and will make a huge difference in jobs like this
