Question on suspension
I recently replaced the rear shocks on my 2007 RDX.
One of them - on the drivers side - seems to have a little movement in it resulting in a rattling noise. I went under the car and noticed a bushing (?) was missing - hopefully the attached photo will show it.
How important is this bushing? I know it has to be replaced but should I not drive he car until I do? Also - would that contribute to the rattling noise I hear? )(Sorry - this is my first post so it is a little confusing)
Thanks - Ted

assuming you are referring to the largest empty hole in the picture, some few early model cars had it filled, the rest did not. It seems to be a dampening measure probably deemed unnecessary at production time, with no apparent functional impact. There was a new car video with details about the undercarriage that shows it empty as well.
Re: rattling, maybe a visit to a mechanic would identify the source quicker on your car, does not SOUND normal though.
cheers
