recently purchased the spohn adj. trq arm with rear install kit. . . the tech said it ships with the forward busing, but for my '91 bird I'd need the correct clamshell to fit bushing 7-1609

anyone got a GM P/N for this ?

 

did you get the t/a with the crossmember as part of it, if so he was prolly talking about the tranny mount

see this link if it applys to you itll help a lot
link

if thats not what you have then you will have to change the clam shell t/a bushing and that is something i dont know, but you can find it in poly for sure, a few of the links at the top of the page carry them i think.

 

Dont think this is the same piece. . . but, man -- thanks for that link -- awesome article !

 

poly bushing for 15$

if you want the gm rubber just go in with the clam mounts shell and ask for the part and check it for fitment, thats whatd id do.

 

What we have here is a failure to communicate

the torque arm ships with the 7-1609 bushing. . . what im looking for is the p/n for the clamshell that fits this bushing. Guess i'll try my local GM dealer.

thanks again thou

 

baaaaa hahahahahahaha
i am total dum ***

 

You can use your stock clam shell IIRC, Steve designed the bushing that is supplied with the tranny mounted torque arm, for a 84-02 app.

thanks, but I recently purcased the fourth-gen style mount from my local dealer -- and verified that this was the correct one with Steve.

If thats right, then not only did I waste my time & money -- but someone should tell Steve !
NOTE: 1982-1992 cars require the use of a factory torque arm bushing clamshell mount designed for bushing type 7-1609. If your vehicle is equipped with a 7-1611 type bushing -- which all thirdgens come with stock, you will need to get the 7-1609 type clamshell. (See below pictures

 

:shrug: I'll ask him tomorrow for ya

and the correct answer is . . .

Insulator = GM P/N 10252374
Outer Bracket = GM P/N 10252375
