The Front Suspension Fastener Tightening Specifications Changed in the 2015 Manual. The Upper Control Arm bolts are not one time use and do not need to be replaced.

None of the c7s should be different.

Since Bill and X25 are here, let me ask about alignment settings. 16 z51, mag/PTM. I dropped it all the way on the factory bolts. Can you guys share “aggressive street” alignment specs? Not looking for full track, occasional track, but my 1LE Camaro is more for trackdays (roadcourse). I’m looking for camber/caster/toe settings, a bit more aggressive than factory. Thanks
