Some Chevrolet Aveo5 owners report experiencing issues with dead axle bushings that may require a complete axle assembly replacement. These owners have noted that replacement rear axle support bushing kits are available as upgrades from the original OEM materials. Some have opted for a cost-effective DIY approach to replace the rear axle bushings themselves, avoiding the expense of purchasing a new rear axle from GM or sourcing bushings from eBay. However, specific tools, such as the Suspension Bushing Service Set T79P-5638-A and Rear Axle Control Arm Bushing Tools T86P-5638-AH, are often necessary for the replacement process. Additionally, many owners find it beneficial to seek professional help from repair shops specializing in CV axle replacement or axle repair, as this can ensure quality service and warranties for peace of mind. For those uncertain about the health of their axle or the best course of action, consulting with professionals for guidance is highly recommended.
