Rear suspension

[Tony Walker]

Working on an old punto yesterday i noticed it had independant rear suspension with an arb, rear discs and a spring and damper setup looks like a cheap way forward perhaps?http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89/mrt000/DSC00920.jpg

With a quick search it seems the more modern punto has a solid rear beam, but im not sure if its all models. The independant suspension was on an old mk1 punto.

Tony, what model Punto was it from?

The standard rear track of a GTT is: 1311mm

The Mk1 Punto GT had a track of: 1360mm (so an inch wider each side)

The base model Puntos had a track of 1350mm, which would lead me to think that they are the same and the extra track comes from the wider wheels?

Just for interest here's a few other rear track dimensions:

Clio Valver: 1324mm
Clio Williams: 1351mm
RS Clio 172/182: 1408mm
RS Clio 197/200: 1520mm
