Best place to get a '12-'13 rear drop link? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well....heard some noise in the rear of my car backing out of the drive way so I decided to look under the car to see if I noticed anything out of the ordinary. Sure enough my passenger side drop link's bottom bolt came off and it caused the link to push up and become disconnected from the LCA.

I just have the stock '12 - '13 links for an FE4 suspension. Anyone have a suggestion on a good place to get one? I'm sure I can go to a dealer but they typically charge a bit more.

I know my local Ace carries a large assortment of grade 8 bolts but not sure if they will have anything that long

I'm missing the lower rubber piece as well.

I found one at a local dealer for $25. I'm going probably swing by and pick that up tomorrow and fix the car.

That's not bad. We do the set for just under 40 but you would still be looking at shipping.

I'm only looking for one. The Driver's side is still in tact. Passenger side lower nut came loose so the lower rubber is missing as well. I still have the bolt and the plastic shaft.

They are actually $23.33 ea + tax at Classic Chevy in Grapevine.

Actually, I was thinking about calling Jordan to see what he could do for me.

Take it and use a drop of LocTitie this time around.

LOL...trust me, that's in the plan this time. I should've known better the first time. I put blue Loctite on pretty much everything else.

caverman · 05-10-2013, 02:51 PM

Now I'm just wondering if it was not attached when I did my track day a few weeks ago.

Guess I'll have to go back and try again.

One last question....can one of the vendors verify for me the part number for the FE4 rear drop link? The dealer was asking me for my VIN which obviously wouldn't match. I just want to verify that this guy was able to look up the correct part # before I drive 30 min away to find out it was the wrong part # and he doesn't have it in stock.

He gave me #22761221

That is correct. I have one here on my desk. How badly do you need it? Saturday delivery? Ground Texas to Texas is two days. PM your ship to address and shipping preference. Don't worry about the cost. We'll get even on your next suspension upgrade
