The mount with the rubber bushing tore out of the frame any idea for a fix. I thought weld a plate with nuts welded on top maybe.

 

Hi, How did you handle this? I have the same issue with my 2007 Avalanche.

 

Me too! On my 2007 Avalanche. I just replaced the upper control arm. Took it for a spin and there was a banging on the OTHER side now. Sway bar tore loose from the frame!

How do you fix this??

 

I got a 3X5 piece of 3/16 plate steel and bent it the long way to form about a 5/8" lip. I then used the sway are bracket to drill the 2 holes in it and welded 2 10X1.5mm nuts on the inside of the plate. I then had a welder attach it in the right position, using the other side as a reference. It came out great and is as solid as could be. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Don for the reply. I guess that's the route I'll have to go, too. I don't see any other way.

 

do you have any pictures of the fix that you did? I am also wondering if you spoke with gm about this and what they said?

 

I called a local guy that has done some bodywork for me in the past. I had forgotten that he worked at a Cadillac dealer. He said he's repaired quite a few Escalades with this problem. He says GM makes a repair plate that needs welded in. He's going to get me the P/Ns, prices and do the work. I'll post back with more info once the work is done. He's really busy and thus not the most responsive so it could be a week or two. I won't forget tho

 

could you send me some pics of the repair so i could show it to my mechanic?

 

I just spoke with a dealer here in Ma who said I needed to bu a whole front frame. Price is $1500 for the part. He gave me a part number but it doesnt look right. Gm 15790389

What really drives me nuts is my truck is an 08 with 75k miles on it. The truck is a baby. either way its paid off and I just want to fix it.

 

I am also wondering if everyone is having issues with the passenger side? the drivers side of my car appears to be normal the passanger side is very damaged.
