I think the crank is stripped! They called and said that its talking way longer then they thought! Said if its not Done Sat then it will be ready Monday. Does it seam like the threads are stripped out from the wobble? Or are they just slow mechanics?

Probably the first Camaro they have worked on.

I hate to say it, but when a new model comes out, the local dealer mechanics sometimes have issues trying to fix things. I know there are some mechanics that know their stuff, unfortunately, our local dealer isn't. Last time they worked on my Silverado, they fixed the problem, but broke other things and I had to take it back. Of course they don't acknowledge the mistake on paper, they just list it as warranty work.

Fluidampr is designing a replacement as we speak, that will eliminate this problem and give more HP.

Called today and would not tell me why taking so long! Was told they had to have a Tec come in on his Day off to have it fixed monday!

Watching this as mine seems to be wobbling too.

Got the car back. Most of the wobble is gone now but does not run true. The canaster in the trunk BLEW up in the trunk in their damn garage! They had to clean the trunk and had to order a new canaster of tire seleant! Wow, no good!
