Default Z06 driveshaft coupler
Does anyone know if the '03 Z06 came with the 12mm coupler. I am assuming they did. I pick up a bad vibration on the dyno yesterday and want to buy them before the long weekend. Any help would be great.
Thanks

All Z06's had 12mm bushings. Think about running the DSS poly bushings from RPM. Expensive but you'll never replace them again.

Im glad this just came up. I am taking my car in soon to have the torque tube pulled and everything rebuilt. I am tired of the vibrations.

I heard of the poly bushing kit and want to do that. What else needs done while its out? Is it just bushings in there or are there other parts that need replaced? I want to be able to buy everything and bring it in.

Mines a 99 A4 coupe.

Replace the bearings also, mine had spun one of the bearings on the transmission end and I had to buy a new hub/yoke ~$240 extra. I hope you don't have this issue.

I plan on it. I have all the bearings and seals. Luckily I have an extra complete torque tube if I destroyed something besides the couplers.

So to get an estimate, one would say I want the bushings, bearings, and seals replaced? And that will cover everything?

That and a new pilot bearing as well, for good measure.
