Mine is back after being fixed by GM a few weeks ago.
They said they used the updated washers when they did the TSB. Not sure if I should take it back to them for another attempt, or just replace them with BMR links. I have 4 speed bumps I have to go over every morning and evening where I live and it happens everyday at least once or twice.

I mentioned Washers, but the service manager told me the TSB was for new bolts. It seems like the actual fix is nordlock washers with red-loctite. Any thoughts on that?

If you want to do it yourself, torques are listed inside the TSB (lower is 89 ft-lb, upper is 74 ft lb, lower is the one expected to be loose). Start by using BLUE loctite only, and if the clunk comes back after that try a nordlock washer and BLUE loctite. Whatever you do, DO NOT use red loctite unless you want to use a drill/grinder when you take the links off for replacement

Just got mine back. Left front upper swaybar link nut was loose. They replaced the nut and inspected the other nuts for proper torque.

Either case, I am not sure how I want to proceed yet.

Gotcha gotcha. Keep me posted, I'd like to hear your thoughts! My clunk has gone away, but I'm sure it is only a matter of time before it comes back.

That's not good. That isn't the end link though right? What bar is that?

That's worthy of a complaint to NHTSA.

It was the stab link. Chevy ended up replacing both links with "updated" nuts. So we'll see how it holds. The service manager accused me to tracking the car, and that's why it came off. Funny thing was that I came in for service a week before for the same thing and I haven't been on the track for over a month.

Mine was in for Code P050D which 2 fuel injectors were replaced and the links were supposedly tightened about 3 weeks ago. Before that visit I had new tires put on and the clunk disappeared for a couple of days before going to the dealer. Since I got it back from the dealer the clunk was gone for about 5 days and has since returned. So I don’t know if something else is loose or maybe a bad strut. As much as these Camaros cost Chevy needs to be more proactive on the inspection process before leaving the factory. At least the Canadian built Camaros that I have owned never had these kind of problems that are plaguing the 6 Gens.
