I'm here at the dealership getting this looked at now

Unless you used LocTite and or a Nordlock style washer, the nut will work loose again.

I used a hint of blue loctite (just a hairline) and it seems to be holding fine

I used Loctite Red and it lasted a month, but started rattling again yesterday...ARGH!

Nordlock washers are your friend.

Interesting, are you sure you torqued them enough? I used blue loctite (not a fan of the red as I believe it's a bit overkill). You may try using Nordlocks as mentioned above

Well, I tighten them as much as I can. I can't squeeze my old torque wrench in there for a reading, though.

It lasted about 5k miles on a drop of Loctite Red...I guess the rattle breaks the Loctite...

All I have to do is find those Nordlock washers, I guess.

Fastenal will have them on the shelf.

I am a suspenders and belt guy. Nordlock and LocTite!

I'm thinking about being proactive myself - what size is needed? If you happen to remember... I'm sure I can figure it out easy enough, but thought I'd ask first.

12 mm

Thanks!!!

Thanks Pete! :thumbsup:

Info on the clunking noise from the front suspension
 

Hi all! I'm new to the Camaro family (I'm a Mustang transplant) and just picked up my 2017 ZL1 this past Monday. I love the car so far but did notice right away after getting home the clunking in the front end. I will be checking the swaybar links today at my shop. One of the guys on here was asking about the proper torque for the end links. Here is a copy of the TSB listing those #'s.
