I have read a lot about the problem with the Tailgate Bushing on the 2017 Silverado. Can anyone tell me the best way to repair this so it does not break again. I have seen where some people put epoxy or something in it when they installed it to keep it from breaking the Bushing again.

I'm not sure there's a "permanent" solution other than it is a simple replacement item.

I put 3 on in the first 2 years of owning the truck then got tired of replacing them. Put one of these on about 6 years ago and never looked back:

  I'll have to ask Jason. I don't have a borescope. That's a really good result sir.
