Stabilizer Bushings 07 HHR
 
I had a rattle in my front end , almost sounded like a knocking noise like the struts. I took it the first time to the dealer and it was taken care of because of the warranty. It happened again at 45k miles and i when and bought the stabilizer bushings for stabilizer bar for $3.78 ea and i needed two. I paid my mechanic $50 to put them on and the noise was gone! They will ask for a vin number because there are two different size stabilizer bars.

Does anyone have a part# handy on the bushings? Or will they know what Im talking about if I say I need front stabilizer bar bushings for a 07 hhr? I was gonna run up to Advance after work and get my parts ordered so I can fix my clunky front end.

A piece of advice- get aftermarket sway bar bushings. I had less than 30K on my car and replaced them. The OEM's broke apart in the mechanics hand. Once I saw that the stock bushings were low quality, I went aftermarket. I am at 60k now with no return of the knocking problem.

What aftermarket bushings did you use? Got some part numbers? :skull:

Here's a "small" selection of front bar bushings from energy suspension:

Remember when purchasing to only purchase (1) as they are sold in pairs, DOH :duh:.....

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know what size is needed for an 07 LT?

Mrs. DLVRNIT 01-17-2011 01:17 PM

Were pretty sure most stock LT or LS Front Bars are 25mm dia! We recommend the taller greaseable version in black ;)!
