Hello HHR Fans.
Yes I drive my HHR a few miles. I just put on new struts and shocks on. When I purchased new tires back at 69K the tire place told me that one of my struts is leaking. I ask why. He said that the stock struts are a problem. He has replaced more on the Cobalt model. But you know this is a Cobalt made frame and just HHR up top. So I didn't replace them at that time. I went on for the miles and as time went on the gas charged strut leaked out of my front strut. It was banging around and making noise. I knew that it was the strut. So I replaced all the Struts and Shocks on the car. Now it rides nice. I went with the Monroe Sensa-Trac. Monroe says to replace struts and shocks at 50K. Go to Monroe web page for video. I had them installed and a 4-wheel alignment. I would lower the car but I drive so much and use this car as my work car. I need to go on dirt roads and driveways that dip too much for the stock ride height now. I like the look of Low. It’s just not for me.
