In the middle of my big build. 2006 Base model. I have an RPM Level 6 ZR1 6060, Stage 4 ZR1 rear, DSS couplerless driveshaft. Had no vibration up to 175 mph last summer, but want to be proactive on the new parts.
Checked input shaft on torque tube and found .021 runout, it is visibly bad.
Torque tube itself looks like it was welded out of center. I am assuming these would have been jig welded. Anyone else see this?
Aside from typical bearings, I would like to replace the input shaft, o-rings, snap rings, etc. I don't see the parts listed at any of the online GM vendors. Anyone have a lead or parts numbers? I would like to avoid having to pay full retail at the local dealer.
I have the repair manual loaded to my machine (hard to do a cut and paste to here for the photo's), but this should be enough to search for parts and there numbers.
Note: good site if you need part break downs for any other part of the car as well and don't have a copy of the service manual. http://parts.nalleygmc.com/showAssem...rimLevel=14233
Also, if you need torque specs when you are putting the drive line back together, that I can least do a cut and paste for the needed specs.
And for the love of God, don't reuse the factory coupling (or replace it with a new OEM), since the are a lot better after market couplings that will take increased power without blowing up on you. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-couplers.html
