Can you replace the rear axle bushings for a 2007 Chevy Aveo with FWD and non- ABS?

A 2007 Chevy Aveo (FWD, non-ABS) doesn't have rear axle bushings. Front-wheel-drive vehicles don't have a driven rear axle; the rear suspension is independent and doesn't use bushings in the same way a rear-wheel-drive vehicle's axle does. Therefore, there are no rear axle bushings to replace. You might be thinking of other suspension components like:

* Rear suspension bushings: These connect various parts of the rear suspension (like control arms, trailing arms, or sway bar) to the chassis. These *do* wear out and need replacing.

* Other rear suspension components: The rear suspension may have other parts that wear out, such as ball joints (if applicable), shocks/struts, or springs.

To determine what needs repair, you'll need to:

1. Identify the specific problem: What symptoms are you experiencing that led you to believe the rear axle bushings need replacing? (Noise, handling issues, etc.)

2. Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your 2007 Chevy Aveo will show you the rear suspension components and how to diagnose and repair them.

3. Take it to a mechanic: If you're not comfortable working on your car yourself, a qualified mechanic can diagnose the problem accurately and perform the necessary repairs.

In short: There's no such thing as replacing rear axle bushings on a FWD Chevy Aveo. You need to pinpoint the actual problem causing the issue.
