Element – GM (89002820)

This is an element from GM, factory part number 89002820. It is catalogued under Accessories & Mounts > Inserts & Elements.

• 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.
• A part that fails early usually points at an installation fault or a worn component nearby rather than at the part itself.

Carriers and hooks that take a load need their specified fasteners, because the mounting point is usually designed around a particular bolt. Where an accessory is handed, the description usually says so; the photographs often do not make it obvious.

Match this against the part you are taking off rather than against a photo. If the number is unreadable, send us the VIN and we will confirm it. Handed to the carrier within one to two business days from our US warehouse, free over $59.
