I did this repair today on my 1999 regular cab short bed. Took me around 5 hours. I replaced the rear shocks too. It took me so long because I'm old and wore out. Thanks for the walk through. Definitely made it easier. No more THUMP!.
That clunking was driving me crazy on my 06 cat eye...Does the torsion bar slide in and out of the bushing? I C clamp mine to the frame rail ( rusty as hellO) It takes away the clunk for a while but; it fails after a couple months...
Just did the same on my 2006 GMC Sierra. The brake lines and ABS module were in the way and a pain! The engineers could have moved it 6 inches to the right and it would have been out of the way and way easier to do.
Thanks for the great video. I have a 99 Silverado 1500 and I suspect I have this problem as well. I assume there are two of these torsion bar mounts, one on each side. Is that correct? And if so, is the part interchangeable to fit both sides or are two different part numbers needed? Thanks!
Dear Sirs, What year are you dealing with and or what Years are afflicted by this problem ? I have a 2020 3500 L5P and suspect it could be this or the intermediate steering link, "Upper".
I just cranked my torsion keys on my truck 3 weeks later I’m having a thumping noise under driver side floor board. Wonder if this is what it is! Did the thumping come and go?
I have a single clunk on my truck when I go over the crest of a hill or some side of the truck drops lower than the other side. Kinda wondering if this is my problem.

Yep! You found it. As you said, the Engineers who design stuff like this should be made to fix a few of them!
with your video, I figured out what my issue was, thanks!
Glad it helped!

I agree a few inches to the right and there would be no issues!

There are two one on each side, there is a link to the ones I used in the description of the video, hope this helps!
I think this might just be the noise I've been tryn to find . I hear it when I start to slow down to come to a stop
I noticed that in my case it was really apparent on bumpy or rough roads
@@joeysautodiy7740 hmmm mine is slowing down and I hear it
@@jdav1984 sounds like in your situation it's the infamous drive line clunk or slip joint clunk
Same problem I am having on my 2017 Z71. What year is your truck?

This is more related to the 1999 to 2006 models.
Was this thumping when you start or stop. But not when moving?
It was mostly when driving, especially under not ideal roads.
I just cranked my torsion keys on my truck 3 weeks later I’m having a thumping noise under driver side floor board. Wonder if this is what it is! Did the thumping come and go?
Yeah and eventually it got to the point where it was constant.
You sure had a lot of trust in that jack had me nervous for your fingers but thanks for the video i bet that's my problem right there
No worries! That might just be your problem!
@joeysautodiy7740 unfortunately i think mine look fine
@@johnathonwhitfield9322 Could possibly be U joints As well.

Its worth looking into to see if that's your problem.
Great Video on that repair!
Thanks!
What bolts did you use for the rivits
Stainless steel rivets.
Did you have to loosen the torsion rod bolts?
No I did not have to.
The function of a Torsion bar is to direct force to another location. In this case...rivets. Who at GM could have seen this coming.
I'll give credit where credit is due the old GM knew how to make a good truck after 07 its been all downhill for GM
If you use ENERGY SUSPENSION P/N 31143G then you don't have to remove the bracket, just change out the bushing. Way less work.
Thank you for the insight ill have to check that out for the future!
Thanks!!! You made my life easier!😂 I could do the work they did but I wasn't happy about it or looking forward to it. I'm glad I read the comments.
Decent how to ….but struggled … also get a real impact lol
lol on the impact comment. I fear that this is my issue too. Thought it was sway bushings but this sounds logical as well.
Yeah it was rough luckily since this was uploaded we have since purchased a better impact thank the lord lol
