I have this issue numerous times with my 2016 Silverado 2500.. Always get a line of crap from the dealer every time they replace the bushing and or whole mechanism. Now vehicle is out of warranty.

I have the same OE easy/slow down thing on my Denali but has since worn out so rather than replacing it I install the Dee Zee DZ43102 Truck Tailgate Assist and it works great.

Greetings I had the same problem discovered the tailgate hinge is bent, warranty is expired I think it came this way from the factory not sure why I think that. it needs to be bent closed a little bit any ideas.

There is a male plastic portion of the bushing and a female portion of the plastic bushing.   I’m looking for the male plastic bushing that goes over the gate assist rotating spring loaded knob.
