It's in the rear driver side just behind the air ride compressor (one on the passenger side too) seem to bolt directly to the frame, trying to help out a friend identify it. Couldn't find it on Gm parts diagrams

 

ummm... body mount?

it's a long bolt that goes through some hard rubber that holds the body to the frame... there are about 6 or 8 of them I believe.

is this from a '08 LTZ? looks kinda older.

I also see an e-brake cable in the background as well.

4th one down?

 

body mount bushing is what I thought also...

 

The parking brake cable is actually the washer fluid line for the rear wiper.

 

Yes actually it's a 2008 LTZ Suburban as well, the reason why it looks older is because it's a canadian car that seem 4 winters and a decent amount of salt.

The one on the passenger side, is cracked and he figured it need replacing.
How much of a difference in ride handling would this make when changed if any?

He was under the truck the other day and noticed it when hooking up the trailer but hasn't noticed a difference in drive quality at all.

Sabrtooth the google link didn't work for me, I assumed it was a body mount or a bushing of some sort just couldn't find a diagram for it anywhere.

 

Unless the rubber is really hard, I wouldn't worry about it being cracked.

 

why don't they paint these things fully? my front driveshaft looks like a 20 year old dump with only 50,000 miles on it.

I should have rustoleum painted the whole underside when I bought it...

 

Same reason they used a cheap head gasket, cheap intake manifold gasket, crappy door handles, low grade electrical wiring, etc.

The motto:"Save he pennies and the dollars will look after themselves" or "Penny-wise, pound foolish" sadly apply in these cases.
On a cheap disposable gas-miser, I could understand short-cuts but one would think that paying over $40K would guarantee that you would get some extra quality for the extra price.

 

Reminds me of the guy that complained when they hung him w/ a new rope.

 

I think that was Moe on The Simpsons...

He sues because the rope broke...
