nope, someone welded a mounting tab on the side and mounted it to the framerail, the motor moving back/fourth must have ripped it off creating a giant hole.

wouldnt have been an issue if they used a silicone Hump hose coupler, as they are designed for that application. probably just a straight silicone coupler right?

Found out that the new axle that GM put in is loose, and is the cause of the severe clunking/knocking during braking and low-speed cornering.

no there is a silicone coupler on each end of the pipe, there was a bracket welded in the middle of the pipe.

the bracket was on the back down near where it goes into the inner fender.
