All I replaced were the rear subframe cradle mount bushes. But, the noise was coming before that.

Well that was going to be my next suggestion is to snug those up with the car on the ground.

How about the 4 bolts that hold the top of the rear shock? Do any of your rear spring seats show any signs of tearing?

I'll snug'em up just to make sure. But, that shouldn't be the culprit.

The top spring/shock mounts are tight. We took out the spring and put the stock one back in to make sure it wasn't the spring. Still there. Then, we put the lowering spring back in...still there. Top mounts looked good...bottom mounts good....all tight....

Got my two front tires in a couple days ago from Andy over at ADM. It was perfect timing too...since I just got a nail in the sidewall of my left rear. I bought the rears back in Dec of last year. So, at a year old...and with ROAD HAZARD, I LUCKED out!

Got my fronts put on this morning along with the replaced left rear. It's nice having new tires...no worries for a long, long time.

It time for me too on the fronts i kill them faster, It may be doing The speed limit on turns that wear them out faster.

I'm wondering if they are failing/failed...

didn't you have a bent LCA end link tab?

I KNOW what you are talking about!

Now...if I could only have about 2 more inches of width on the front tires for those turns...

Hopefully I'll come across some good ZL1 wheels here in the near future from someone who wants to sell them off of their new Camaro. I'm looking...and I know of a couple guys already wanting to sell. If I can manage, I want to pick them up and paint them similar to my current set up...>CGM with wave blue and a polished front. If so, I'll have the width that I want all the way around and I don't think I'll be doing anything with rims/tires for a long, long time.

With the rear sway bar disassembled, there would be no pressure/force on the rear bent LCA tabs. Rear sway, endlinks, tabs are totally out of the equation.

Sucks...but...Hopefully the dealer figures it out.




On a side note, got my 5th or 6th replacement plasma bulb back today and installed back in my car. I'm growing tired of these flimsy hair thin wires detaching. It's really getting irritating. At least the customer service, shipping, and entire return/exchange process over at AAC is beyond good.

I taped the wires up in there just to make sure they are not swaying back and forth, getting jolted around, yadda yadda. Hopefully this is the last bulb I'll need to replace for a long, long time.

In fact, I think I want some MAJOR HID running lights. Glen's truck has some and those f'ers are BRIGHT.

NoNo. I agree with you the LCA endlink tabs are out of the equation.

I'm thinking something else on the LCA may be failing. Like the inboard bushes/mounts I'm trying to think of what would be "flexing" on a forward to rearward roll...

Hrm....now I didn't think about that.

That could be a possibility.

Those were never touched. Maybe that's it.

[GTAHVIT]

How about now?

And no. Haven't taken it in yet. Going to take it in either Monday or Tuesday. They were trying to get their guys vacations and didn't have enough people to get to the Camaro. So...I held off. But, it's time to get in there. Also trying to time it with the radio install.
