Exploded For Sendarius

This is p/n 24236106 all blowed up.



#7 is the front bearing and it lives in the very front of the tube (to the left).

#19 are the rear bearings and they sit entirely inside #24 at the opposite end.

#14 is about 4' long and is unsupported but there's a rubber snubber in the middle to keep flexing from getting out of hand.

    Ye gods! I don't think GM could have made it any more complicated, could they?

    I take it that the outer tube is actually part of the vehicle "backbone" in that it stiffens the entire drive train to minimize chassis torsion? Still think it worth the $$$ to get the entire assembly and then work the old one at leisure to become a spare.

      That's probably the best course of action, either keep it as a spare or sell it to someone else who wants to rebuild it or use it for parts.

      It's a driveline and spine.

      The C4 had a girder running parallel to the driveshaft to do this job. Those things are joy to work on by comparison.

      The C5 started this nonsense.

      I am still cheesed off that you need to remove the entire rear-end to get at the clutch, a wear item. But if you think about it, you're really not removing much more than the transmission; it's just it's in an odd place.

    Thanks for that.
    My 928 had three bearings, all inside the torque tube, evenly spaced.
    I hear you about getting at the clutch by removing the rear suspension. At least it gave me an excuse to replace all the rear suspension bushings.
