DESCRIPTION:
The front bushing in the rear longitudinal stay may fail, causing one or more symptoms:
- Knocking / clunking noise from rear suspension on uneven roads.
- Pulling / drifting due to incorrect wheel alignment / rear wheel camber angle.
- Unstable rear suspension on curvy roads.
The analysis indicates that there could be some corrosion on the bushings outer metal ring, which causes the vulcanized rubber to loosen.
PRODUCT MODIFICATION:
Waxed bushings, which may reduce corrosion, were introduced in production from 2012w10.
