Brought it into the same dealership and mentioned the TSB again. They didn't even acknowledge it. Said they didn't hear anything and gave me the car back.
Went to a different dealership yesterday first thing in the morning. They heard the noise and tightened the sway bars per the TSB. Was good after that until I hit a rough patch of road when going out for dinner later last night... I heard a slight tap sound when pulling back into the driveway that night.
Now the noise is back when pulling out of the driveway and over speed bumps this morning.
I also notice the sound slightly when starting from a stop at a red light.
I'm at a loss... Going to take it to one of the shops around here that are hopefully more competent than GM and have them check all/most of the suspension.
It's maddening...
Edit: I'm going to buy the nordlock washers and loctite. It looks like I could perform this myself. Maybe learn something during the process and not have to rely on GM to fix simple things that shouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Excellent solution. Hey - GM - Nordlock washers! Be sure to use brake cleaner on all threads before loctite application.

Very cool part.
But know they are relying only on loctite and proper torque on a lock-nut to secure the fasteners.
Add Nordlock washers for better reliability.
The new nut in the above posted bulletin P/N 11548382 MAY solve this too.
GM's paying 24 minutes of labor from get the car to park the car for this operation.
