The first step to replacing the rear differential bushings on a 2001 outback is to gather the necessary tools and materials. To complete the project you will need a hydraulic jack a ratchet a socket set a torque wrench new bushings and an axle puller. Jack up the car Use the hydraulic jack to raise the car off the ground and support it with jack stands. Make sure the car is secure and wont move. Remove the axle shaft Use the ratchet and socket set to loosen and remove the axle shaft bolts. Then using the axle puller remove the axle shaft from the differential. Replace the bushings Remove the old bushings and replace them with the new ones. Make sure the bushings are properly aligned and seated. Reinstall the axle shaft Reinstall the axle shaft and use the torque wrench to tighten the bolts to the correct specifications.Once the new bushings are installed and the axle shaft is secured you can lower the car and test drive it to ensure that the differential is functioning properly.
Yes you can, they are available on e-bay. search for aveo rear bushings they are going for 65 a set now! (I paid 99). they come with very good instructions o how to change them without removing the axle from the car.
Replace the bushings in the track bars that connect the rear axle to the vehicle.
Worn out front sway bar links or bushings can do that.
Use a ball joint press. You can get one from Harbor Freight. You'll most likely need the accessory kit as well. You can use the press in different configuration to press the old bushings out, and the new bushings in. Even the front upper bushings in the axle can be pressed out, although it may be a little tricky setting up the ball joint press to do the job.
Need to know which bushings, there are many bushings in a vehicle.
would it be subfram bushings that stop the car fromm swaing or sway bar bushings
Had this same issue in a '93 Probe. Replaced the CV axle and stabilizer links to no avail. While replacing the steering bushings I noticed my rim was somewhat warped, so I had replaced with a spare. Not sure if it was the wheel or the bushings but the sound disappeared! And man was it ever a frustrating noise!
No.
Since The Villager is of unibody construction, there are only a couple things that can be considered "subframe bushings". Sway bar bushings (front and rear), rear leaf spring bushings, and the most likely, control arm bushings.
There are a bunch of different bushings...please be more specific.
just normal bushings
