This C7 Corvette rolled into KP Performance & Automotive needing some love in the torque tube department.
The plan was simple:
Bad bushings ➡️ replace bushings ➡️ send it home.
The Corvette had other plans. 😂
Once we got everything apart, we found the bearing had spun and the torque tube itself was damaged.
So the repair went from:
🔧 “We’ll put some bushings in it.”
to:
💸 “Well… you’re getting a whole torque tube.” 😂
Not exactly the surprise anybody wants, but once we’re this deep into a C7, we’re fixing it right. No Band-Aids, no “it’ll probably be fine,” and definitely no putting a damaged tube back in and pretending we didn’t see it. 👀
New torque tube installed, Corvette back together, and another one ready to hurt some feelings. 🇺🇸🏁
