Once the proper height and angle were set I just ratcheted the straps evenly and it went right into place.
I have a 2005 corvette I had a torque tube put in it a year ago at local Chevy dealership it’s making a scratch noise I took it to another dealership because the one that put it in was giving me a runaround the dealership I took it too said they never took the bolts out of torque tube that holds the bearings in for shipping
