How to replace the Drive Shaft on Chevrolet SSR?

The first step is to mark all driveline parts relative to both the propeller shaft and axle before disassembly along with the propeller shaft and pinion flange while maintaining exact component positions at removal by using specification and torques. Begin by raising the vehicle. You should mark reference points on the propeller shaft to match with the pinion yoke of the rear axle and the transmission. Cautiously detach the yoke retainers and bolts from the rear axle pinion yoke without striking the yoke ears and without using tools between the Universal Joint and yoke to prevent breaking the injection joints. Use the propeller shaft to slide forward to separate it from the rear axle pinion yoke before sliding it in reverse to disconnect from the transmission and finally pulling out the shaft. Test the Slip Yoke splines to see if a proper grease layer exists before applying grease gm p/n 1237-,7985 or equivalent when needed. Install the propeller shaft inside the transmission keeping the reference marks from removal in alignment before mounting it to the rear axle pinion yoke while aligning these same reference marks. Lower the vehicle before you install yoke retainers along with bolts that need to be tightened to 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.).

Drive Shaft is one of the core parts of the car and proves to be very efficient in the models of Chevrolet SSR made between 2003-2006. This Drive Shaft is designed in such a way that it transfers mechanical power and the torque from the engine to the drive wheels for the proper running of the vehicle. Light-weight yet very strong, it reduces inertia and is highly capable of handling torsion and shear stress; a marvelous feature of the Chevrolet SSR's transmission system design. Depending on the specifics of the model, the SSR Drive Shaft can be one- or two-part and while the second option sometimes improves crash safety, it increases the general safety level of Chevrolet SSR. The configurable nature of the MAX-HP SSR allows for compatibility with numerous SSR models to include those fitted with 5.3L Vortec and the 6.0L LS2 V8 engines. Drive Shaft also uses Universals or Splines for changes in alignment for increased performance, Big Clearance Shafts are also used. However, what distinguishes Motors to Motors, Drive Shaft is not a mere ornament; it influences the vehicle handling and performance and therefore is a significant factor to automobiles' power and control for those who are keen enthusiasts. Such a feature of the car as the polished cast aluminum wheels as well as the power-retractable hardtop makes the Chevrolet SSR a style-statement when coupled with the extra-ordinary Drive Shaft- cementing the brand's position in the automotive industry.
