Product Details
This Whiteline Body Mount Bushing Kit fits the 1989 Chevrolet C3500. The chassis code on the listing is GMT400. Whiteline's note for this fit: Standard Cab Pickup. The part number is W93490. The kit contains 12 bushings.
Body mounts are the cushions between the body and the frame, and they let the body shift slightly relative to the chassis. When the rubber collapses or tears, the body moves more than it should, which shows up as sloppy handling, clunks, and a loose feel over rough roads. A firmer bushing set holds the body in position. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 5 hours of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the C3500, see Ball Joint Boot Kit, Transmission Mount Bushing Kit, and Rear Upper Shock Absorber Bushing Kit.
Features
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Easy to fit: Installation does not call for special skills or tools.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
