Getting rear axle bolt fixed

[willh876]

Hey guys, Question for the rear axle bolt under warrenty? Does the dealer have to drop the exhaust to get to this? I've read some of these threads and found conflicting answers. I also saw something about a pcm update? I am tuned and was planning on leaving the car tuned to drop it off. I know if they have to do anything to the car with the computer I would have to flash back to stock. Any info would be appreciated. They are also fixing the recall on the camera.

Attached is a PDF of the Rear Bushing replacement. I did not see anything about removing the exhaust.

I would just reflash it back to stock just in the case they do do anything.

I just got a 2022 ST with 23k miles 2 weeks ago. I took a look at mine and noticed that my right subframe bushing looks all twisted. I didnt see any pics of anyone elses looking like this. Has anyone else seen this or know what would cause it? Im assuming this would degrade the structural integrity of it and should probably get replaced right?

I would get it looked at. I don't think it's supposed to look like that and should match the one on the left. Mine only has 1 and just had it replaced under warranty.

That is normal. Huge discussion on the FB groups, turned out it is normal. Looks odd for sure though.

Oh really? I did some searches but couldnt find anything about it or images that looked similar so it had me stressing! I never checked FB though. I saw the same bushing but everyone elses was straight and not twisted looking like mine.

Someone just torque the hell out of them or something?

Yes, normal. I was surprised too, it definitely looks like something weird. Nothing to worry about.
