Replacing Torsion Bar Mounts on a GMC Syclone
The stock torsion bar mounts wear out over time and need to be replaced. It's a pretty simple procedure and will reduce the annoying clunks you hear when going over speed bumps and similar road hazards.
- 2 Torsion Bar Mounts: Moog #K6443, Moog #K6485 (shorter studs), or GM: #GM8001
The truck will clunk under your feet when driving over speed bumps and other objects.
Jack Up The Truck
Jack up the front of the truck till the front wheels are off the ground. Place jack stands on both sides of the truck.
Mark the ride height adjustment bolt before removing so that you will have the same ride height after re-assembly.
Place a jack under the crossmember on the same side. Raise the jack until the crossmember lifts high enough to remove the torsion bar mount.
Remove the torsion bar mounts from the truck. They are asymmetrical, so note the orientation of the stud/indent on the top of the mount.
