Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Clean the frame insulator opening.
Apply thin coat of rubber lubricant GM P/N 1051717 (Canadian P/N 5728223), or equivalent to the inside of the frame insulator opening and to the insulator.

Install the CH-47672 clamp to the bushing. Align the clamp screws with the split portion of the bushing. Position the edge of the clamp where the bushing chamfer blends with the straight section of the bushing. Alternately tighten the clamp screws until the split edges of the bushing are parallel and almost touching.
NOTE: The frame insulator splits must be aligned in a forward and rearward position relative to the vehicle.
