A Taper Lock Bushing is a mechanical joint used to connect a shaft to another part. They are made of steel and feature a tapered surface to lock onto the shaft. They also feature a thread and key-way for additional security. Taper lock bushings are available in different sizes and can be interchanged with a variety of other bushings from other manufacturers.
A taper is a slender candle.In mechanical engineering a taper pin is a metal pin with a gentle tapering shape used to lock two or more parts in place.
The reason the outside of the plug you have is bigger is so it stays in place once you get the plug in the lobe. Go see a professional body piercer for some help with the taper, no a pad lock is not OK to use.
If the support bushing has galled up, it can lock the axle in place. This will be obvious once you get it out. It can be forced out by driving a ball joint wedge or similar tool between the CV housing and the transmission. Be aware that this will damage the transmission case. If the bushing is actually torn up, you will most likely be looking at replacing the transmission, since you will have to remove it for repair anyway.
Check this first if the pedal seems to have some slack, there is a bushing on the pedal where the arm for the clutch master cylinder attaches, this gets worn out and you will have to push the clutch all the way to the floor to disengage, replace this bushing and you will have full pedal again, its a simple operation so anyone can do it. Note, ask for the bushing for the 2004 model, Jeep has its diagrams messed up and will give you the wrong one if you go earlier than that, it looks like a little black cage, pop it into the arm, then onto the stud on the pedal, it will lock into place and viola. Otherwise there is no real adjustment.
Not really, but if it seems like you have to push all the way to the floor to disengage try this.

Insert the barrel into the slide. On the barrel, behind where the recoil spring guide sits, you'll find a barrel link. Rotate that link up so it's perpendicular to the barrel. Insert the barrel bushing and rotate it clockwise until it stops. Then install the recoil spring guide. Being mindful of that link remaining perpendicular to the barrel, slip the frame onto the slide and pull it back until the takedown notch is aligned with the rectangular cutout on the frame, and you can see through the barrel link when looking through the slidestop hole. Install the slidestop pin through the slidestop hole and barrel link until it sits flush against the frame. Make sure the bushing is fully turned clockwise and install the spring and plug onto the recoil guide rod. compress the spring until you can maneuver the barrel bushing wrench over the bushing with the plug and spring under it. Compress the spring with the wrench while turning the bushing counterclockwise enough to lock the plug in place. Cycle the action to make sure you got it, and you're done!
I TO HAVE A 96 WINDSTAR THAT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS. WITH THE SLIDING DOOR OPENED I WOULD TRY AND SHAKE IT TO TRY AND MAKE THE SOUND, BUT NO SOUND. WITH SOMEONE DRIVING THE VAN AND DOOR CLOSED TRIED PUSHING ON THE DOOR , THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE . EVENTUALLY TRACED IT TO THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER RUBBER BUSHING, THE SHOCK WAS VIBRATING AGAINST THE FASTENER THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD A RUBBER BUSHING. AFTER REPLACING THE BUSHING THE NOISE WAS GONE HOPE THIS SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM. I have 98. I searched for that noise everywhere on my van. I could not get it to stop. When I messed with the side door and the noise continued, I started to think it was the jack moving around, then maybe the lock in the rear door. Going insane I thought. Then while under the van to get a child's ball, I noticed the shocks were so worn, the rubber bushing was gone. I had the absorbers replaced and I can`t even get my 98 to make a noise now even when I push it to the limit over bumps. If the absorbers are in good condition but the bushing is shot-NEW BUSHINGS, but if your absorbers are riding low-NEW SHOCKS.

There is no real adjustment as far as I know. You can bleed it off with the bleeder screw but if there are any real problems then its probably time for a new clutch
Or, you could go to eBay and search for "saturn shifter bushing" and get a replacement bushing for around $20. I found this information at this website: http://www.chaosmagnet.com/blog/archives/000112.html if it is a standard tranny your bushing on the stick shift has gone bye bye go to a junk yard and pop off another one and replace as Saturn does not carry this part you must buy the whole shifter cable for around 150-200 bucks I found a set of nylon wiper linkage bushings at Advance Auto, part #49448, that can be modified to work. Most of the major auto supply stores have the same item in the HELP!section. Cut off the end of the bushing at the first indention to make it short enough to work. File off the ridge nearest to the lip on the back so the bushing will slide through the cable end. Put a little grease inside of the bushing, put it through the cable end and and clip it on to the metal knob on the shifter with channel-lock pliers. It takes a little effort with the pliers to get it on. I have been using this for six weeks with no problems. Since there are several bushings in the package, I have modified another and keep it in the car just in case.
Sounds like the rod that attaches from the door lock to the handle mechanism may have come off. there is only a small clip that keeps this in place and it mat have broken. or a bushing within the locking mechanism itself may have worn out. I would check the rods first there may be up to 3 of them. 1 goes to locking mechanism near the window (in and out. lock with key and lift button), if electric locks, one may go to locking solenoid and the door release which goes to interior door handle and outside door hangle
Lock: It depends on how it is used.When it is an object, it is a noun.He held the lock in his hand.Put the lock on the table.Did the lock fall off of the gate?When it is an action, it is a verb.I did not lock the door.Does your computer lock up?I cannot lock my suitcase.
