Bushings

I've got a 07 LS and I haven't found what I'm looking for in my search. Does anyone know if there is a company selling a complete front-end bushing set? I also have Pontiac Fiero and I found a complete bushing set for that car. So I thought there may be one for our cars as well. Any help in this is greatly appreciated.

What bushings are you talking about? There are control arm bushings and sway bar bushings. If you get a complete lower control arm all of the bushings and ball joint are included, the sway bar bushings run about $20. And then there are sway bar links and strut mounts.

Donbrew - I'm referring to the entire front end. ALL of the bushings.

Oldblue - I've checked there but I haven't come across anything that I'm looking for as far as a complete set (kit).

That's why I was wondering if anyone on here has found anything like it.

As donbrew stated. Control arm bushings and swaybar bushings. That's it as far as front end bushings on a HHR.
You must not be familiar with the design of the suspension on these cars.

Others parts like ball joints, swaybar end links, tie rods, hub bearings and strut components are parts of the front end suspension that may need attention or replacement.

Those 6 bushings (2 swaybar, 4 control arm) are just a small part of the front suspension system.

Fwiw. Most have found it easiest to get new complete control arms because the bushings are already pressed in and the arms will have new ball joints. Saves the PITA of pressing in/out bushings in the old arms.

There are no upper bushings at all on HHR's.

That is covered with the struts.

Only the sway bar and control arm have rubber bushings.

Original question: what bushings?
I mentioned "ALL of the bushings" in my original post. What sort of complete kit could there be if a complete LCA set doesn't count?

It is a McPherson strut front suspension, not a double A frame.
