Rumbling Noise in Area of Rear Axle

If you encounter instances in the above models of a rumbling noise in the area of the rear axle, the tightening torque of the bottom mounting bolts for the rear shock absorbers may be insufficient. To resolve, remove covers on spring links and remove / replace both bolts and nuts. The correct torque for the self-locking nut for attaching the shock absorber to spring link is 55 Nm.
