Rear suspension compliance mount failure
Symptoms
Vague rear end, clunking, unpredictable handling over bumps.
Cause
The rear suspension uses large rubber compliance mounts (cages) that deteriorate and collapse. They're critical to rear suspension geometry.
Fix
Replace the compliance mounts.
It's a significant job, the rear subframe needs attention.
