F Bracket – GM (85013641)

The f bracket here is the GM part, numbered 85013641. It is catalogued under Brackets & Supports > Brackets.

• Rubber insulators isolate vibration, and a worn insulator will make even a new bracket feel loose within a few thousand miles.
• Support and brace parts are matched to a specific engine and body combination, so the part number carries more information than the shape does.
• Brackets that carry load in shear rather than tension are sensitive to bolt grade, and substituting a lower grade is a common cause of elongation at the holes.

The photographs on a listing show the actual stock item, so compare the mounting points and the connector or fitting rather than the overall shape. A part that fails early usually points at an installation fault or a worn component nearby rather than at the part itself.

The part number is the thing to verify. Where the old part carries no legible number, a VIN and a photograph are enough for us to identify it. Dispatched from our US warehouse within one to two business days, with free shipping over $59.
