Element – GM (89002528)

Factory part number 89002528: an element supplied by GM. It is catalogued under Accessories & Mounts > Inserts & Elements.

• Superseded numbers are common, and where a factory number has been replaced the current part is usually dimensionally identical to the original.
• Corrosion at a mounting face is worth cleaning back before fitting anything new, because a part that sits on scale will work loose.
• Torque figures belong to the fastener and the joint rather than to the part, so the factory procedure is the reference rather than a general rule.

Inserts that locate in a moulded recess rely on the original clip geometry, and a worn recess will let even a new insert move. The number stamped on the old part is the only reliable identifier, since two parts can look identical and differ by a millimetre or by rotation direction.

Check the number on the part you are removing before ordering. If it is worn off, send the VIN and a photo and we will match it. Leaves our US warehouse in one to two business days, and shipping is free over $59.
