INSTALLING OF REAR DIFF BUSHING AND COUPLERS AND SUPPORT DRIVE SHAFT BEARING ON THE CADILLAC STS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- In this video I show you to install a preformance revshift different Bushing. A heavy duty drive shaft support bearing. And some working in progress aluminum couplers. But near the end of video I had to end up installing OEM flex couplers instead due the aluminum couplers not working right. Please enjoy .
I'm loving seeing more people putting up videos working on the STS! I can only get so far watching CTS videos haha. Prepping to drain and refill my transmission fluid, replace the transmission filter, and replace the center support bearing. My bushings are still good, thankfully, but I'm getting the clunking while shifting gears and the thumping under the center console now so that bearing needs to go.
Really soon actually if you need a centre support bearing I have an extra one that I could send to you if it need be
Thanks for the support please let me subscribe I always try to put some new stuff up there when I need to work on it.
Thanks for that iam try to post as much as I can to help people out.
Thanks : People like you make the job. Easy an handack free😊
Thank you that really means a lot to me.
very helpful video , thank you 😈
I know this video pretty old but suggestion would be giving bolt sizes during filming…video very helpful!!! 👍🏽
Okay got you thanks for the feedback
Awesome Video, doing all that this weekend. Wish me luck my issue going to be my manifold exhaust boolts will need replaced to just rusted away i got a lift though. Thx
I got ya good luck let me know how it goes.
Thanks for the help. Job well done
Thanks I appreciate that
Great job and nice video. I really like the details.
Greetings!
Thanks special cars Gremany.
@@fixitdaniel Hi, I am going to install the same bushings, are you now supposed to leave the outer shell in or cut it out and remove it? I saw both options.
@@special_cars_germany If Your remove that diff bushing all of it comes out even that metal sleeve comes out to make room for that rev shift bushing.
@@fixitdaniel thanks. I will see how she drives after that.
Let me know how it ran.
Thank you for sharing this 🙏
Great vid. I think I need to do mine. Day job. Weekend job?.
Thank you for the video about to start on my 08
Welcome
Mines an 05 and I do need this
I've replaced my driveshaft center support bearing 3 times... Where did u find the heavy duty bearing ??
Bummer about the couplers. I was curious about the balance when I saw you grinding them out by hand. If they need to be opened, I would take it to a machine shop that can do it with precision. Maybe fix the ones you have at a machine shop.
Them true.
Thank for great video very helpful 🇨🇦👍
Thank you for that really appreciated it.
If i want to just change the driveshaft i dont have to mees with the differential, do i?
Nope just change the drive shaft. And you're good.
Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have a 2010 Challenger 3.5 engine. The oil seals are leaking where the axles connect to the differential. Do you have a video on replacing them? Or, do I need a special tool to remove and reinstall the seals?
Thank you.
No I don't have a video on that car I'm pretty sure they have special tools you need
i got 3 of the diff bushings where are the other two used??
Which three were they?
Ha this is exactly the same way you would do it for the Chrysler 300 in Dodge Challenger
Hello. Do you have experience changing the oil seals where the axles attach to the differential? Do I require of a special tool to remove and reinstall the seals?
Thank you.
Yes it does go to eBay and put in pinion seal installer or transmission seal installer and it will bring up tools that you need to do the job
@@terrellscaife2411 Thank you for your prompt response. I was not expecting one at all.
The Lisle 56650 is a great tool for removing Pinion Seals and also I’ve posted a review on Amazon with video and pictures my name there is big-T
I need the center support bushing
I need all of it Thomas Jones
Hey great vid :)
where'd you get your retainer tool ?
Thanks for that actually got that from harbor freight it was multi directional one. Which means you can flip it depending on how you need to take it off.
@@fixitdaniel Thank you , I'm about to get ready and do this on my STS , there's not that many videos on STS'S so I appreciate your series on the car :)
Thank you really do appreciate that that is what inspired me to start a channel to help people and to get that information to someone who needs it.
I need help 2011 ran over a falling branch and now its clunking right under center arm rest..
So that means that up under the armrest there should be the shifting linkage and you have a drive shaft and you have a drive shaft support bearing that's holding the drive shaft so you could have a bad center support bearing that got them broke or something like that Best thing to do is to get under there and see what's loose by pulling and and sea what's broke
I may have missed it but is this differential balanced?
No it's a differential bushing that helps hold the differential to the subframe of the car
How's that rdf bushing holding? I was looking into it I really have to replace mine but I'm curious is it possible to replace all 3 rdf bushing with out pulling rdf out? To replace all 3 bushings while I'm thier
Mines doing fine, no issue at all.
Am I able to change all 3 rdf bushings with out pulling the rdf all the way out as in like would I be able to just let it hang and replace all 3 bushings while I'm thier?
You may want to use a jack to hold the differential as you lower it so I can stay suspended you can't just drop it a little it don't go to the ground and you have hoses and lines and stuff probably attached to it so just use a jack to lower it down to make room to replace all three bushings if you want to do it that way that's what I did
Thanks Daniel I appreciate the advice keep up the hard work
Can you send the link for the 3 bushings please
Hey Daniel, I did not see the link for this specific differential bushing. Could you share the link with me so I could grab one of these myself? Thanks!

There you go sorry about that
@@fixitdaniel I did go to the rev shift website but I did not see one that specifically says it is for "STS". I only see the one for "CTS 2003 -2007" Will that work the same? I have the exact same car as you a 2005 STS
@@maxhoffman1832 it doesn't matter cts rear ends are the same as sts rear end
@@maxhoffman1832 it will still fit
It’s in neutral but it won’t spin freely what should I do
Hey Daniel I followed you step by step I have limited tools but I did by a hand saw and cut a slit not enough room to chisel from the back so I tried to get it out from the front with a big screwdriver and I think I have damaged it to the point where it looks like it part of the assembly how can I get the casting out from the back without damaging it more
It's OK if you damaged the sleeve that the mount was sitting in you're gonna get it out anyway replace it with the brand new one so as long as you don't damage the rear ends housing that it sits in you should be fine
Where did you get the couplings?

Man your a blessing I got my 2010 sts and it’s making the clunking so I’m gonna repeat this entire video to my car I just didn’t want to take it apart and not have the right tools so thank you 🙌 these sts videos are amazing
@@jswanson0384 Thank you I will be updating it soon cause my 08 STS needs this too again. I alright bought my Revshift diff bushing.
Would the rear differential bushing stop vibration? I had my center support bearing replaced yesterday. I don’t hear any clunking but I can still feel it vibrating a bit when I take off enough to where I don’t like it the mechanic said my motor mounts are bad but the car doesn’t shake at all at idle it only vibrates where the support bearing is. Please answer this is becoming crazy expensive for me I just wanna make the right choice.
The rear disc wishing may cause vibration but I would still check the motor mount and transmission because that could also cause it as well it just depends on what it feels like and where it's coming from
Hey if you find me an Instagram at Fix-It Daniel message me and we can probably do a little video chat to get more explanations
So, I have an 06 STS and I checked out your vid on replacing the center driveshaft bearing, and I replaced it. Also replaced the shift linkage with the SR-1 kit. That solved the center console thumping and vibration problem, but the clunking in the rear diff started afterward. What do you think of using 3M windo-weld urethane to fill in that bushing where the oem rubber failed, instead of replacing it, and without dropping anything? I was thinking of getting the solid urethane bushing from creative steel, and renting the tool from them, but it's still a job. My car has almost 200k and I just had both catalytic converters replaced for a second time along with a starter. Other than that it's regular maintenance, so this car is a keeper, I just don't want to pay for the installation of that bushing if this could fix my clunking problem., ijs
I never use the M3 thing that you're talking about but that may work but try to go to rev shift that's where I got my bushings from it's easy to install you can do it yourself no problem without the paying anybody check out the video that I did for my bushings
@@fixitdaniel I was referring to injecting 3M windo-weld polyurethane into the failed portion of the bushing to stop the clunking! It would serve the same purpose as replacing it with what you used, without the hassle of removing, dropping, or cutting anything! I'm 61 now, and I've learned over the years to work smarter, not harder if you can, and after an inspection, that front bushing is the only culprit. I was just mentioning that option for your thoughts, as well as anyone else's! I've seen others do it with other vehicles with positive results, but nobody with our vehicle.
@@waltccc4 I've seen somebody make their own polyurethane with like some liquid polyurethane but they didn't put it in the vehicle they made a mold cast out of it to rip to replace the OEM one so I've never seen anybody use it before but I have seen positive results you're right I just haven't seen it on someone doing it on ours most people just just pop it out and replace it but I get it you're 61 years old I guess I don't expect you to run under your vehicle and start start replacing it yourself and you definitely don't want to pay somebody but I don't know how you would be able to keep that together without it falling out this is liquid and inject it but I might try to see if I can find something I've never heard of that that 3M thing before so I'm going to do some research and I'll let you know
I saw the video on what you were talking that could work you do that and it may work if you decided to that let me know it turns out.
I need it
I have the same make, year and model,
My rear does a hard clunk when shifting from park to reverse or park to drive, The rear differential fluid needs changed along with the transmission,
But do you think the rear differential bushings is the issue to the hard clunking?
Thank you in advance.
Yes if you're having clunking when you're shifting I would replace both I will replace your transmission bushings and your rear diff it's going to be more in your rear diff but it doesn't hurt to replace the bushings that way they're all in sync so yeah and changing fluid doesn't help I got to change the rear diff in mind but yeah rear diff clunking is from the bushings
@@fixitdaniel is this an expensive job if taken to a shop ?
My cadillac only has 150,000 miles
@@shawngarcia1805 mine has less that and I had to get that replaced
@@fixitdaniel one last question plz, would the catalytic converters be hard to change or would you recommend a shop ?
Thank you so much for your time and answers.
Great video btw....
Do you still have that part ?
Remind me again which part.
I do need that part lol!!!
Which part 🤔
@@fixitdaniel you said in the video to get ahold of you and I could jus pay shipping on that OEM drive shaft ball bearing part for the cadi because you got 2 remember? Great video btw I'm going to have to do all of this for my car.
Oh I still do have it if you need where you and oll check to see how much shipping .
@@fixitdaniel my zip code is 95521 and would it fit a 2005 mine is a sts v8 rwd yours looks Dam near exact like mine
@@blazedank100 it should
The engineer who decided to put only one front bushing should be fired at once. I have a V and those fucking bushing dont last.
That’s a great job done on jackstands. My question to you is if you’ve gone so far doing this job is it not necessary to replace the U-joints while you’re in so deep? I’m new to this car and trying to learn what to watch for. And my car only has 33k miles. Thank you & great video!
I didn't replace the U-joints because they weren't bad they were actually okay so that's why I didn't replace it but if it was I would have
Cts 2.8 owner applies to 3.6 also there is a low restriction oil filter from gm forgot the part # but using it and good quality synthetic oil of the proper spec is vital to keep timing chains in good shape and I change every 6000 km
Hey I would pay you got the bearing you mentioned in the video.
I’ll pay the shipping
Where do you live erichicks8936
I need one for a SRX I'll take it
Iam not for sure it will fit on your SRX. Check to make sure.
Do you have the part numbers to the rear coupler ?
Ya the ones I had gotten were DORMAN brand part number 935-103 Drive shaft Couplers
@@fixitdaniel Thank you sir
Sure no problem
Is it possible to do the 2 rear ones [bushings] this way as well?
Yes its possible oh you ment me to do the rear bushing
@@fixitdaniel Sorry I meant will it lower enough to do the 2 rear bushing? I gave it a shot and had some clearance issues getting the bolts out. The front one is hitting against the heat shield when you try to pull it out and the rear ones are hitting against the spare tire compartment with a socket attached. i put it back together and will try to borrow a lift, seems like it's going to be a pain.
My guy can you please share the link for the driveshaft high performance bearing?
