FAQs

How do I know if I need to replace my axle mountings?

Symptoms include clunking noises from the rear, especially over bumps, poor handling, excessive vibration, or a noticeable sag in the rear of the vehicle. A visual inspection by a mechanic can also reveal wear or damage.

Can I replace just one rear axle mounting?

While it's possible, it's generally recommended to replace axle mountings in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced performance and prevent uneven wear on suspension components.

What is the warranty on Lemforder parts?

Lemforder parts are known for their quality. Specific warranty information can vary, but typically, manufacturers offer a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy for details.

Are Lemforder parts better than original equipment (OE)?

Lemforder is a reputable manufacturer that often supplies parts directly to vehicle manufacturers (OE). Their aftermarket parts are typically designed to meet or exceed OE specifications, offering comparable or improved quality and performance.

What tools are needed for installation?

Installation typically requires a vehicle lift, jack stands, various wrenches and sockets, a torque wrench, and often specialized bushing removal and installation tools. Professional installation is advised.

How long does the Lemforder 34646 01 typically last?

The lifespan of an axle mounting depends on driving conditions, vehicle load, and road quality. Under normal use, quality components like this Lemforder part can last for many years and tens of thousands of miles.

Troubleshooting

Clunking noise from rear suspension

Worn or damaged axle mountings are a common cause. Inspect the Lemforder 34646 01 for signs of cracking, tearing, or excessive play and replace if necessary.

Vehicle pulling to one side

While often related to alignment or tire pressure, severely worn rear axle mountings can affect vehicle tracking. Ensure the bushings are correctly installed and intact.

Vibration felt through the cabin, especially at speed

Degraded bushings fail to dampen vibrations effectively. Check the condition of the Lemforder 34646 01 and consider replacing if it shows signs of age or damage.

Difficulty installing the part

Axle mountings can be tight. Ensure the correct tools are being used and that the subframe is properly aligned before attempting to insert the new bushing. Professional installation is recommended if difficulties arise.
