The knuckle is #31 in this pic
Attachment 549396

I'm guessing GM lists a different part number for the rear knuckles is because they will come with different bushings installed from any other Camaro currently offered.

AWESOME! Thank you Greg. Yes, the knuckle is what I thought it was but you make an excellent observation that I had not considered because I did not know GM put the bushings into it so the graphic was very helpful for me to understand the Camaro IRS. You are probably correct but it would be cool to know for sure? I know Porsche like the back of my hand but am now learning Chevy. Porsche puts all the control arm bushes into the arms themselves, and only the lower shock mount bushing is located on the carrier (knuckle).

Yes, I was just curious for curiosity's sake on the DSSV pricing. There is no electronics in them that I am aware of. The high/low speed (compression/rebound) is controlled mechanically (pressures/spool valve), but it is certainly possible other factors could affect retrofit onto other Camaro models.

Great posts, wonderful to see some facts!

PS- Is rear toe adjustable on the Camaro IRS? Or just camber/caster? If so, which link acts as the Toe Control Arm?
