What happens if the rear axle rubber bushing of the Cruze is damaged?
1 Answers
Damage to the rear axle rubber bushing will prevent it from functioning as a shock absorber, leading to vibrations and abnormal noises in the chassis. Severe vibrations can affect the stability of the vehicle while driving and reduce driving comfort. The rear axle rubber bushing acts as a flexible buffer between the axle and sleeve. If damaged, it may cause collisions between the axle and sleeve, potentially resulting in misalignment between the rear wheels and wheel arches, leading to abnormal tire wear. Steps for replacing the rear axle rubber bushing: 1. First, lift the vehicle. 2. Then, remove the two rear axle screws and oil pipe. 3. Next, use a specialized tool for the Jetta rear axle rubber bushing to pull out the old bushing. 4. Finally, apply lubricant to the new bushing, making it easier to install.
