F Bar – GM (98329639)

The f bar here is the GM part, numbered 98329639. It is catalogued under Braces & Reinforcements > Crossmembers & Braces.

• A part that fails early usually points at an installation fault or a worn component nearby rather than at the part itself.
• Where a diagram shows several similar items on one assembly, the difference between them is normally length, shoulder or handedness.
• Keeping the old part until the new one is fitted and checked is the simplest way to avoid a second order.

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. Reinforcement plates spread load around a mounting point, and fitted with the wrong grade of bolt they crack at the holes instead of spreading anything.

Worth checking against the original before fitting. If you cannot read the number, we can match it from the VIN. Handed to the carrier within one to two business days from our US warehouse, free over $59.
