Torque Tube Assembly Cleaning And Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Aztek and 2003 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The internal components of the torque tube assembly are not serviced separately. Replace the tube and internal components as an assembly.
- Inspect the torque tube for broken or cracked welds, dents or damage to the exterior of the tube, a damaged propeller shaft flange, or loose or missing dampeners.
- Inspect the propeller shaft seal surface for wear or excessive scoring. Inspect the propeller shaft splines for any unusual or excessive wear.
