Actually you can hear it. Just stick your ear next to them when in reverse. They click when working

So has anyone done a rear bumper removal? Europares isn't totally clear but I'm thinking:

Boot liner out
6 bolts from the inside of the boot
Lower the bumper
Replace sensor

Reverse.

Make sense?

Scissor jack

Just wondering if anyone has a Maserati 4200 scissor jack they can compare to this one from an Alfa 166.

To me it looks about right for the jacking points

I really would like the correct one but not at silly prices.

[CatmanV2]

Front drop links same as Alfa GTV rear drop links???

I am not sure but they look identical. Main dealer they are about £40 each, ebay, £10 a pair!

Someone needs to sort out replacement wishbones - Maserati have raised their price again to £1360+VAT and only via back order (Lower rears)

Won't that make a mess of the bumper if you just reverse?

Well I'd move it out of the way

It's wrong anyway, there are 6 bolts in the boot and 4 (I think) torx screws at the back. Then it still won't come off

[hodroyd]

There are some at the sides also, did you get those..??

The whole point was it might fit the jacking points correctly / safely on a Maserati..

 

[hodroyd]

Oh it's the jacking point bit, bit sticking out in the middle, or not, I see what you mean..!!

 

[Gp79]

Indeed!
