    Default Dogbone replacement, looks easy, is it?

    The rear of my touring is now making an embarassing squeak squeak everytime I turn left. Kid's hang their heads in shame. Looks like an easy fix. Or am I missing something? It doesn't screw up the trailing arm alignment or anything does it?

    Any advice form those who've done it?

    TIA,
    Scott

    Perhaps the easiest suspension component replacement job on these cars. I replaced my dogbones last winter. Jack up the car on the rear trailing arm with the wheel removed and simply unbolt the worn dogbone and replace with new. Be sure to keep track of the washer orientation upon removal of each dogbone.
    Good Luck,
    George
