Does anyone know of a source of suspension bushes for a P4? I need the eight for the four rear tie bars. Alfa can't supply anymore and neither Superflex or Powerflex list them. |

I've found that when the car is first started in the morning, the light is off and 4WD is working. After about 5 minutes driving the light comes on and I'm back o 2WD. |

Are the rear calipers on a P4 the same as the rear calipers on a 2 wheel drive 16V?
Incidentley, if anyone has the Alfs parts CD, ... |

Checkout the floor pan. That little blister of rust behind the underseal will probabley turn into a major rot area! |

So what is the purpose of this almost rock solid coupling, especially as there is also the the much more freely moving coupling on the back of the gearbox? |
