Knocking Noise - Rear Subframe Bushing - Modification Procedure
Issue:
If a knocking noise is reported as coming from the rear suspension, it is possible that the bushing has moved out of location in the rear suspension
subframe.
Action:
This bulletin provides a procedure for bonding in replacement subframe bushings in case of a customer complaint of a knocking noise from the rear
suspension.
REPLACING/BONDING SUB FRAME BUSHINGS
1.
Remove the subframe from the vehicle.
2.
Press out the old bushings from the subframe and thoroughly clean the bores and the surrounding areas.
3.
Place the subframe on a bench and stretch a line or measuring tape through the centers of the two bores, as indicated in Illustration 1, to indicate
the centerline.
4.
Place small squares of masking tape on the top face of each bore, under the line or tape, and then mark the centerline, with pen or pencil, on the
masking tape.
