1.
Check components for wear or damage.
2.
Check if the cross support is bent.
3.
Check trailing arms to see if the bushings are worn or if the arms are bent.
4.
Check lateral links to see if the bushings are worn or if the arms are bent.
5.
Check stabilizer bar on vehicles so equipped for worn or missing bushings, and to verify that the stabilizer bar is not bent.
After checking the above items, road test the vehicle on a smooth road surface while very gradually accelerating the vehicle from 77 to 87 km/h (48 to 54
mph). If the vehicle is equipped with cruise control, it is convenient to use it to accelerate the vehicle at 2 km/h (1 mph) increments.
A vibration may start between 77 and 87 km/h (48 to 54 mph). It may grow more pronounced as the vehicle maintains a steady speed within the 77 to 87
km/h (48 to 54 mph) speed range on a smooth surface. Any rough areas in the road such as expansion joints or any irregularities in the road surface will
interrupt the vibration, causing a need to restart the road test.
Install the powertrain damper kit under these circumstances only:
^
When all other possible causes for vehicle's vibration have been eliminated.
^
When a continuous vibration occurs only between 77 and 87 km/h (48 and 54 mph) and the vibration is most pronounced in the vehicle's floorboards
and seat cushions.
Install P/N 21012637 for vehicle's equipped with automatic transaxles.
Install P/N 21012638 for vehicle's equipped with manual transaxles.
