F Insert – GM (42864017)

The f insert here is the GM part, numbered 42864017. It is catalogued under Accessories & Mounts > Inserts & Elements.

• 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.
• 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.

Where an accessory is handed, the description usually says so; the photographs often do not make it obvious. A part that fails early usually points at an installation fault or a worn component nearby rather than at the part itself.

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. Dispatched from our US warehouse within one to two business days, with free shipping over $59.
