Are all the subframe mounts the same. . .?
I've seen some lisings for "front" and some for "rear". . .
But they all look the same to me
Any one knows?????

I believe the front two are different from the rear four.
Judging from this photo of the bolts from the overlandvans website, the rear ones are longer.

The bolts holding the center bushings in are larger diameter but same length. I don't know about the bushings being the same or not.

Re: Body/Subframe Mounts. . .
Bushings are the same OD for all three positions. The middle set has a larger diam ID for the larger diam bolt. Seems odd. Why didn't GM simply make them all the same size, bushing and bolt...Who knows.

Re: Body/Subframe Mounts. . .
Thanks bro. . .
I took a closer look and there seems to be a bit more of a problem. . .
The mounting point on the front passenger side looks like it has corroded and the bushing is falling thru.
I have the lift kit installed and I can only see the Spacer on that corner, not the bushing!!!
So I guess I have to address this one soon.

That would seem easy enough for a welder to fix. Although getting a welder to domadslammer wrote:Thanks bro. . .

anything around here is like growing hair, at least for my projects.
Perhaps you can simply make a large washer out of some thick steel, if you
have the tools to cut and drill it.
