Others have mentioned this already, but I just went over my car to prep it for Camaro Fest. My upper stabilizer link nuts were way loose! I was thinking most people were having trouble with the lowers. My lowers were fine, but the uppers were scary loose.

Yep. I would recommend against the M6 unless GM provides an update for the launch issue.

Yup... just need some time to figure it out.

Now that you mention it. I'm having a blast with the A10 but the wider tires and adjustable dampers are pulling hard at me right now. Might actually make the switch.

Mike, the 1LE looks awesome, but I'd have a hard time giving up the A10. This thing is just so good. Maybe if I drove a 1LE I'd change my mind, but I highly doubt it. Hopefully you get the looseness figured out and it's nothing serious. I really am leaning towards a misalignment or the loose sway bar links. Those can certainly make a big difference. Good luck. Can't wait to hear the outcome.

Mine does the same thing. I already took it in for the service bulletin re-torqueing but guess I'll check the alignment too.

Did it make a difference after tightening? Was yours really squirrely before you tightened them?.....Any pics of the part(s) you found loose?...

Hopefully you found the solution to the problem....

I wouldn't describe it as really squirrelly, but I did notice the car not feeling quite as stable as it originally did while doing some spirited driving around traffic circles.

I haven't driven it since I tightened the nuts, but I can't imagine it won't be at least a little better.

Sorry, I don't have pics. It would have been tough to see, but both sides were about 3-4 full turns from being torqued properly.

You sure you didn't accidentally push the "Mustang Mode" button? Could happen to anyone...

First post, first Camaro, similar issue. My '09 CTS-V with more power, less tire and older technology was much more planted. Must be all the Texas cars... I think my swaybar links are loose and I will be taking it to the dealer to have it looked at. Hope it is minor and a quick easy fix. Otherwise I have little confidence in a tech locating and fixing. Maybe I need to be more optimistic.

You'll notice High End Wobble with Slicks that don't have enough PSI or unequal PSI as you also lose torque on the big end.

Just sayin

^^^This^^^

If you mess with any configurations of the car the balance will be affected..... tire pressures are very important....

lowering springs and other modifications can dramatically change the feel of this car..... the way it was designed and intended.......

Mine is completely stock and I have no ill effects of any kind......
