Installation Notes
- Always replace mounts and bushes in axle or position pairs for balanced performance.
- Mark the propshaft orientation before removal to maintain factory balance. Some applications require the propshaft to be balanced after bearing replacement.
- Clean all mating surfaces before installation to ensure proper fit.
- Torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications using a calibrated torque wrench.
- Inspect related components (adjacent mounts, bushes, or linkages) for wear during replacement.
- We recommend professional installation by a qualified mechanic, especially for safety-critical components.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect rubber mounts and bushes at every service interval or every 15,000 km.
- Replace rubber components when you notice cracking, perishing, or collapse.
- Wash underbody components regularly to remove road salt, mud, and contaminants that degrade rubber.
- Address unusual noises (clunking, squeaking, vibration) promptly — they often indicate worn mounts or bushes.
- Avoid harsh impacts (potholes, speed humps at speed) that accelerate mount and bush wear.
