Condition/Concern:
The repair instructions for replacing the torsion bar crossmember bushing and the correct part number can be difficult to find.
Recommendation/Instructions:
When replacing the torsion bar crossmember bushing, most applications use P/N 15001006, which is called an insulator in GMSPO Parts Catalog. Please have the parts department verify this is the correct part number for your vehicle. This part is only the bushing and does not come with the bracket.
Use SI Document ID # 675834 for repair instructions.
Note: When replacing the bushing, the center hole will be elongated. The bushing should be oriented so the elongated hole is in the horizontal position.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
