    Default Camaro Rear Suspension Bolts the Same as Ours?

    I took a hard hit to the right rear corner of My GT, bent the upper rear control arm, the bolt at the knuckle, and the Upper Control Arm bolt.
    The replacement arm is on the way, but I can't find the two bolts. I figured that the Camaro rear is similar enough, and I can find those part numbers, but are they truly the same?

    11589279
    92139140

    Thanks for any help.

    The bushings are the same on the outside so I would assume they are the same bolt.
    Look on a parts website and look for the part on the g8 and get the spec and do the same for the Camaro.

    Okay, the big bolt is different, part # 92139090.
    The two bolts on the Camaro are the same diameter, but much different on the G8.

    The smaller bolt may be the same, so I'll check that out when I go to the parts counter.

    I couldn't find the measurements for the bolts, but the parts counter guy could. That's what tipped me off that at least one of the bolts wasn't right for our cars.

    Update:
    Got both parts from two different dealerships.

    Where the upper rear control arm meets the wheel bearing carrier is #11589279, same as a Camaro.
    The larger bolt near the differential is # 92139090.

    This thread may help no one, but maybe it will help somebody down the line.

    Peace out.
