I have a ‘23 ZL1 and the strut bolts were also loose. On the ZL1 with MRC (non-1LE), the tq spec is 21lb/ft. They were less than 16 which is the SS spec. I’ll probably grab an STB too just to help with potential tower fatigue as you’ve mentioned. I’ve seen several instances online of them cracking as well. Thanks for the video!
I looked in my manual and it only said 16 ft/lbs but ill have too look again cause i have mag ride as well. Cause if it's 21 then I'll up it a little. 16 is not much
Yeah I know. I went cheaper route. Lot of people saying thier bolts are loose. That might be the bigger issue if they are loosing clampload and moving.
It Has A Coating On It Youll Have To Sand Off If You're Wanting To Polish It. I Did It, And It Looks Great

Thanks for mentioning the top bolts. Checked mine & they were loose as well. I never thought about checking them till you did yours 👍
I was suprised as well! Wondering if that has something to do with the strut towers cracking.
@@EssMotorsports Maybe. I have a RS & I can't find a brace that fits, so I guess I'm scrw*ed if that lack of a brace is what is causing it to crack.
@Sandkei I definitely don't think it's the cause of not having one. I think it could help tho. Loose bolts are probably a bigger cause.
@@EssMotorsports Thanks for the info 👍
I was thinking the BMR strut tower brace would help with the cracking issue because the mounting brackets on each side bolts to all 3 strut studs.

Worried about the bolt heads when you have that ugly intake. 😂.
