Every time I back out of the garage, and the front wheels fall off the little 1" ledge between my garage floor and driveway, I get a clunk. No other symptoms and I've largely ignored it since my 1LE did the same thing.

Guys if it's not too late, you need to tighten your end links, or go to the dealer for warranty work. It's becoming a common issue.

Most common is driver's side sway bar link. Mine did it, and I had to retorque and locktite!

Common suspension "clunks" react different or not at all if it is a "fall" or a bump. Most times you notice on a fall

What torque should we tighten to? Don't want to take it back to the stealership unless I really have too...

Just got my zl1 back from getting the end links tightened up again. Seems like a common issue.

If it happened twice, there was no loctite used.

These are torqued right from the factory, but they need loctite added to stay tight.

Mine just started rattling again. I retightened them and used LockTite Red. It lasted about a month, but started rattling yesterday. Argh!
