WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Montana, 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2002 Chevrolet Venture. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • The internal components of the torque tube assembly are not serviced separately. Replace the tube and internal components as an assembly.
  • Do not remove the dampeners from the tube bracket. Removal and reinstallation may effect component noise and/or vibration levels.
