Try getting a rear pinion seal. I golf with the head of supply chain at GM and even he was shocked when he put his people on it, nothing.. Most of these parts are Delco and I called them on several parts including batteries as they can see everything that has shipped from distribution to the dealer. The car had such few run for 4 years it just isn’t enough for 3rd part volumes. So many that started in 2013 with suspension parts no longer exist.
