Defect
The bush bracket connecting the rear lower arm to the rear axle housing has insufficient structural strength. Repeated turning and repeated acceleration and deceleration cause the bush bracket to crack and fail, separating the rear lower arm from the rear axle housing. This produces abnormal noise and reduces driving stability.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the bush bracket assembly with the corrected part.
