No. Not a good idea. The bushing isn’t worn anyway.
2013 Suburban, rattle or tapping noise from the right rear wheel well area.

Ordered the body mount parts on the 8th from Gmpartsdirect. Just says processing and they haven’t responded to two requests for an order status. Getting a bit impatient....
Dammit.
Have read where other folks on here have been less than impressed with GMPARTSDIRECT's customer service and responsiveness lately. Hope they don't keep you hanging too long.

They will be receiving a phone call tomorrow. Either they will get it in gear or I will cancel and order elsewhere.

Went through all this and no change! Dammit.

See that vice grip?!
Time to start grinding away paint, trimming and welding if that vice grip is stopping your noise.

I found it because I noticed there was a little ring of rust around the last spot weld in the wheel well seam. I though, what the hell and clamped a vise grip on the seam for ***** and giggles. That stopped it. Here is a short video of it. After I put my phone down I just bent that seam until it stopped making noise when I wiggled the vise grip. Put it all back together and went for a ride. All quiet in the Burb again.
EUREKA!

Glad you found it... sucks that you went to the trouble and expense of the body mount before finding it... but atleast it's fixed.
Also, thanks for following up and posting the solution here... so many threads where the OP never returns to report a solution.

I was not happy to have dropped $95.00 on body mount parts only to hear the noise before leaving the driveway. Plus, I am the only one here that could make it happen when parked by bouncing just right in the back. Made it hard to find. Seeing that tiny rust ring gave me the idea. I just happened to wiggle the vice grip just right and it made noise. I was like “THATS IT!”
Good sleuthing there George!

The nose came from inside this cavity. There are 4 or 5 body sections that come together right there.
This spot weld is still attached but had some rust around the top. I was desperate and looking for anything.
