04 Linear SW, only 40k miles
I posted a couple of months ago asking if 1/2" gap on one side of the torque arm bushing was normal, here's the report;
Took the car to a dealer twice, 1st complain was a growl or excessive noise, only under hard acceleration, 2nd question was the gap at one side of the torque arm bushing, Mechanic said "no problem, the bushing moves", exhaust is ok, but he never bothered to even drive the car (twice).
I got frustrated enough to try motor mounts, even though he said they weren't broken. Measured old against new and both left and right were about half the gap of the new between the bracket and the mount.
NOW, torque arm bushing is centered and the noise under acceleration is gone, plus the engine is much smoother at idle.
Neither mount was broken or appeared bad, other than the smaller gap.
This could be an interesting conversation with the service manager..........
