Rebuilding the Opel Torque Tube! – Manta A Suspension Upgrade [EP. 6]

Vintage Opels came with a feature called a torque tube. What is a torque tube? Well, it's a tube that contains all the torque. Actually, it's meant to keep the rear axle from tilting up and down under acceleration and braking. After 49 years, I think it's time to rebuild mine! Aside from fully cleaning and re-painting everything, it's getting new heavy-duty rubber supports, a new "donut", new polyurethane mount bushings, and a new bearing. This is just once piece of the puzzle, while I rebuild and restore the entire suspension on this unique classic car. Be sure to check out the rest of this series if you haven't already! The full playlist is here:    • Opel Manta A Suspension Project   Most of the parts in this video came from Opel GT Source. I believe in supporting these specialist shops, so show them some love: https://www.opelgtsource.com The replacement Toyota pinion nut was actually purchased through AutoZone as a special order. It's made by Motive Gear, part # 1510N. Correct Opel replacements are available in Europe.
