Having just purchased a 360 Spider I note that servicing costs are high. No surprise there! However, it does seem to need track rods ends etc rather more often than other performance cars. Why is this?

Track rod ends are the 360's achilles heel.

would disagree - servicing costs are high if you pick up a car which has not been regularly serviced. I'm on my 3rd 360, 360M, 360 Spider and now a CS. Join up www.supecarhub.com and check out the selection of service prices. I don't think my bills for servicing any of my 360 variant's have ever been expensive and I've done about 40,000 across all 3

so the 360's drive on different roads to every other car that doesn't need them anywhere near as often. Not so easy after all....at least for somesmile
