2. NOTE:
-
Make sure the 204-618/2 is positioned with the larger opening toward the bushing to act as the receiver cup.

Installation
NOTE: There are 2 rear drive unit (RDU) front 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 special tool.
2. NOTE: Make sure the alignment marks are properly aligned on both special tools and the anti-rotation tabs are properly seated in the special tool.
Install the special tool onto the RDU bushing.
3. 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, 204-618/2 will fall away as the RDU bushing is installed into the subframe. The special tool does not
control the depth of the bushing. The RDU bushing is fully seated when the special tool falls away from the subframe, do not continue to
tighten the special tool.
Install the RDU bushing into the subframe.
