As in WOW that is the easiest and cheapest thing I have ever done to this car!
I paid $5 for the E-18 external torx socket and just tightened the K-member bolts from the bottom. The Wow can also be for how loose some of them were, one of them went a whole turn BEFORE it started torqueing.
I went to 100ftlbs, I'm thinking they should probably be higher but I wanted to get a torque spec first just to be safe. Anyone know it?
I was fairly certain that this was going to fix it, before I went and bought the socket this morning, because when I was measuring the torx head I could see clean metal around the bolt head were the grime had been scraped away. While I was out I took my buddy to pick up his car at the Chevy dealer so I picked up the bottle of supercharger fluid that was offered as a reward. Looks like Peter is the winner so you get me your address and I'll happily send it out as soon as I can, next week if not tomorrow. My email is kab33@yahoo.com
Now all I have to do is take it for an alignment tomorrow and It'll be on the road again.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Rick I will post pictures later today or tomorrow.
