How are the Problem Solver LCA bushing holding up?

2009 LS 52k on car. Struts at 40k, just put the moog sway bar links on hoping to cure my rough road rattle. Really liked how they look and seem to even tighten the car up some. Now yes I did not do the actual sway bar bushings yet but the car is clean and only 52K. I'm thinking from what I hear it's the LCA bushing passenger side. So I was going to buy MOOG K200792 on an ebay sight but it says not for HHR. Do I have wrong number. Also saw some reviews of them not holding up?

Thanks.

Right number! I pressed mine in August 4, 2015, no problems at all!!
I think those guys complaining may have damaged the bushing beating it in with a BFH!!

Thanks, to me they look like a better design. I never liked a vertical bolt for this type of motion.

August 4, thought that rang a bell. This Aug 4th will be 31 years at job.


Wonder why they are not listed for the HHR. On Rockauto if you click the explanation of them. They list the cobat, ion etc but not the HHR. Wonder if they don't recommend them for the AL control arms? Would make any scene to me if they fit why not?

Ours is not to reason why, just verify they in fact do fit, really tighten up the front suspension and last a long time!!
Look up parts for HHR's they some times say in the fitment listing 2006 to 2010.
And the FE1 FE3, FE5 listings urgh especially the ball joints!

Sometimes its because HHR is listed as a light truck.

I'll be ordering all the problem solver bushings for my 07 LT, along with ball joints and sway bar end links. I'll take some pictures when I do it in a week or 3.

Good deal. Looking forward to the pics etc.

You might find some of the torque values listed here handy: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-...e-items-54648/

replaced struts/shocks, LCA, links next week

after 119K mile on my 007 HHR I finally got the energy to replace the struts and shocks. After reading all the threads and you tubes, finally got the job done. Ordered Moog quick struts/shocks, LCA's stabilizer bushings, and stab. links all from RockAuto. Got them all in jiffy quick time. Especially like the stab links with zerk fittings. My HHr is happy.
