Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. 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-A clamp to the bushing. See Special Tools . 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.
- Install the frame insulator to the front frame opening with the insulator splits aligned in a forward and rearward direction relative to the vehicle.
- Assemble the CH-47672-A clamp and the frame insulator as shown to the frame. See Special Tools .
- Use the CH-47672-A press to begin installing the frame insulator into the frame. See Special Tools . STOP and remove the CH-47672-A clamp (1) before the clamp becomes trapped between the CH-47672-A press and frame. See Special Tools .
- Use the CH-47672-A press to finish installing the frame insulator into the frame. See Special Tools .
- Remove the CH-47672-A from the insulator and frame. See Special Tools . Inspect and confirm that the insulator (2) is in direct contact with the frame (1).
- Install the upper frame insulator (1)
- Install the frame to the vehicle. Refer to Frame Replacement (4T45-E Transmission) or Frame Replacement (6T70 Transmission) or Frame Replacement (2MT70 Transmission) .
IMPORTANT:
The frame insulator splits must be aligned in a forward and rearward position relative to the vehicle.
IMPORTANT:
Inspect and confirm that there is NO visible gap between the insulator and the frame.
