M11-7509-028-004X | Genuine Paccar® A/T Mount Strap Bracket

Holds components firmly in place during vehicle operation.
Absorbs vibration, road shocks, and engine movement.
Maintains proper alignment and prevents shifting or wear.
Ensures safety and longevity of both the mounted part and surrounding systems.

1. Visible Cracks or Breakage

Cracks, bends, or fractures in the metal bracket are a clear sign of stress or fatigue.
Common in high-vibration areas (e.g., near transmissions or fuel/air tanks).

2. Loose or Missing Hardware

Bolts or straps may come loose, stripped, or go missing.
May lead to the tank or component rattling or shifting on the frame.

3. Unusual Noises (Clunking, Rattling)

You may hear clunking, banging, or rattling from underneath the truck.
Often caused by the component moving due to a failed or loose bracket.

4. Excessive Vibration

A broken or weak bracket may cause the mounted component (like a fuel tank or transmission) to vibrate or shake excessively, especially at idle or high speeds.

5. Misaligned or Shifting Components

The part being held (e.g., transmission, air tank) doesn’t sit straight or appears out of alignment.
Could affect hoses, fuel lines, or air fittings connected to it.

6. Wear Marks or Metal-on-Metal Contact

Scraping or wear on nearby surfaces may indicate the bracket isn’t holding the component securely.

7. Corrosion or Rust

Rust or corrosion around the bracket or strap mounting points may weaken its integrity.
Especially common in salted-road or wet environments.

8. Fluid Leaks (in some cases)

If the bracket holds a tank or reservoir, failure can cause movement or damage, potentially leading to:
Fuel leaks
Air leaks
Coolant leaks
