Flex FWD V6-3.5L (2010)
Installation
NOTE: There are 2 RDU rear bushings in the subframe. This procedure shows how to install one bushing. The procedure for the remaining RDU
bushing is identical.
1. NOTE: Make sure the alignment marks on the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616/2 are aligned with the
anti-rotation tabs on the RDU bushing.
Install the RDU bushing into the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616/2.
2. NOTE: Make sure the alignment marks are properly aligned on both the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616/1
and Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616/2 and the anti-rotation tabs are properly seated in the Rear Drive Unit
(RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616.
Install the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616 onto the RDU bushing.
3. NOTE: Make sure the arrow on the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616/2 is visible on the bottom and facing
away from the subframe. The arrow must remain straight so that the bushings are correctly indexed into the subframe.
NOTE: When installing the RDU bushing, Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616/2 will fall away as the RDU
bushing is installed into the subframe. The Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer does not control the depth of the bushing.
The RDU bushing is fully seated when the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616/3 and Rear Drive Unit (RDU)
Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616/1 fall away from the subframe, do not continue to tighten the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70
mm) Remover/Installer.
Install the RDU bushing into the subframe.
