Dodge Journey: Adjustments

ADJUSTMENT

The right and left support assemblies are slotted to allow for right/left drive train adjustment in relation to drive shaft assembly length.

Check and reposition right and left engine support assemblies as required. Adjust drive train position, if required, for the following conditions:

  • Drive shaft distress:
  • Any front end structural damage (after repair).
  • Support Assembly replacement.
