    My 2021 Fiat Panda HYbrid is nothing like this otherwise excellent video . the front control arm to subframe bolt head is hidden by the front chassis member which require the front panel to be removed to gain access to the fixing bolts . I have removed the headlight screws and the wheel arc liners and still cannot gain access to removing the front panel and bumper [email protected] .
    I have relocated the anti roll bar drop link from the macpherson strut onto the lower wishbone .
