Edge AWD V6-3.5L (2009)
NOTE: There are 2 RDU 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 special tool are aligned with the anti-rotation tabs on the RDU bushing.
Install the RDU bushing into the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (65 mm) Remover/Installer.
2. NOTE: Make sure the alignment marks are correctly aligned on both RDU Bushing Remover/Installer and the anti-rotation tabs are correctly
seated in the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (65 mm) Remover/Installer.
Install the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (65 mm) Remover/Installer onto the RDU bushing.
3. Inspect the rear subframe to find the revision part number.
4. NOTE:
-
Make sure the arrow on the special tool 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.
-
When installing the RDU bushing, 204-617/2 will fall away as the RDU bushing is installed into the subframe. The Rear Drive Unit (RDU)
Bushing Remover/Installer does not control the depth of the bushing, continue to tighten the nut until the RDU bushing is fully seated into the
subframe.
-
For subframe revision 8T43-5K067-BA, the RDU bushing must be inset 2 mm (0.08 in).
