Removal

1. NOTE: There are 2 RDU front bushings in the rear subframe. This procedure shows how to remove one bushing. The procedure for the remaining RDU bushing is identical.

Remove the RDU.

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

NOTE: Make sure the arrow on the RDU 204-616 /2 is pointed toward the rear subframe when removing the bushing.

Assemble the RDU 204-618 and RDU 204-616 to the rear subframe and press out the bushing.







Installation

1. NOTE: There are 2 RDU front bushings in the rear subframe. This procedure shows how to install one bushing. The procedure for the remaining RDU bushing is identical.

NOTE: Make sure the alignment marks on the RDU 204-616 /2 are aligned with the anti-rotation tabs on the RDU bushing.

Install the RDU bushing into the RDU 204-616 /2.







2. NOTE: Make sure the alignment marks are properly aligned on both RDU 204-616 /1 and RDU 204-616 /2 and the anti-rotation tabs are properly seated in the RDU 204-616.

Install the RDU 204-616 /2 onto the RDU bushing.







3. NOTE: Make sure the arrow on the RDU 204-616 /2 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.

NOTE: When installing the RDU bushing, RDU 204-618 /2 will fall away as the RDU bushing is installed into the subframe. The RDU 204-616 /2 does not control the depth of the bushing. The RDU bushing is fully seated when the RDU 204-616 /2 falls away from the subframe, do not continue to tighten the RDU 204-616.

Install the RDU bushing into the subframe.
