Sportage (KM) with V-6 Engine

- Description

The 2005 and later Sportage model equipped with the V-6, 2.7L engine requires a crankshaft bushing installed in the rear (flywheel side) of the crankshaft to align and support the torque converter.

When removing or replacing the engine/crankshaft make sure this bushing is installed to prevent vibration and/or transmission oil leaks at the torque converter seal.
