The front engine crossmember mounts rigid to the body without
rubber insulators.
The rubber mounts and bushings isolate the rear axle cradle from the
vehicle body. An improper insulation mount and/or improper bushing installations
may result in the following problems:
| • | May result in popping noise. |
| • | May result in structure shake. |
| • | May result in road noise. |
| • | May result in snapping noise. |
Installation of the wrong part may cause the above problems or improper
tightening of the insulator may cause the above problems.
If the problem is diagnosed as an insulator problem check that the body
bolt is at proper torque specification. Refer to
Fastener Tightening Specifications
in rear suspension. If the wrong
insulator was used, replace the insulator with the correct part number. Use
new installation bolts, and tighten to proper torque specification. Refer
to
Frame Bushing Replacement
in rear
suspension.
