Nasty scraping sound when decelerating

One more example of why you should change out the liquid filled diff bushings to a solid urethane or other solid option to avoid this type of mess

Sucks they didn't say anything when doing your oil change, I would find a new place for maintenance, or start doing it yourself if possible

I had no idea it was liquid filled. Holy crap. Well then.

So I take it this means I get to fork over cash to a tow truck driver then. Fck.

And yeah, I actually have pictures of back in November when I was lubing my sway bar bushings and I saw this but it was just small globs of crap but it was still all over it. I'm going to a different dealer. Thanks for the input and quick responses. Big help for sure!

Yeah, the factory bushings have a greasy gel in them to help give a dampening effect to smooth out the ride & when they fail.... Well you know now
