Torque Tube issues/need advice
RE 2014 Z51 3LT
I was hearing a knocking sound when I turned off the engine. Took into the local Chevy service.
They think it's a "Possible loose flange nut internal to the torque tube. A loose nut can cause damage to the threads on the shaft holding the flange"
They quoted me $3900 to just pull it apart and see what the issue is. That seems excessive. Anyone have this experience?
Thanks

After watching that video, I am so glad I have a warranty on my corvette.
