I don't mean to duplicate any previous work here, but ...

As a new HHR owner, I will be spendinig bookuu bucks on suspension items. I have a HHR with 111K miles on it and it will need front wheel bearings right away . I plan on driving this sucka until the wheels fall off - or like 6 years or so. I drive 25K - 35K per year. Plus, I will be lowering it soon, replacing worn items, you know....

Most members here have a TON of experience with replacement parts. So I'm gonna ask for some input. Which manufacturer(s) has the best replacement parts for the following items :

Wheel Bearings ___________
Springs ______________
Struts ____________
LCAs / Bushings ______________
Stab links / Bushings ______________

Please include your reasons why you've used them and any other info that will help fellow members.

Have Fun Y'All
Best Regards, Mark

 

I can only add one item to your list that does make a big difference, IMO. That would be front rotors replacement with NAPA rotors, they weigh much more than the original rotors and will not "warp" under normal or even extreme driving conditions.
