Cat Man HHR, the Moog folks didn't test them so they don't list them!
The Moog K200792 bushings fit the FE5 aluminum LCA's, the same diameter as the FE1 and FE3.
The Moog problem solver LCA's do not include the bearing bushing!
The Moog LCA's do not fit the FE5 ball joints!!!
If a picture paints a thousand words!!
Left is the K200792. Right is the OEM bushing I replaced just 61,000 miles before!

Thanks Mr Blue
After your answer to my PM I looked up Cobalt SS and it said the K200792 fit.
By the way when you take a picture please clean your hands, this is a family web site :)
And stop with the !!!! :)

Well, things just don't stop there. I put new tires on her Tuesday to correct what I thought was a wear spot on the right front tire tread. Didn't really need all four but I feel better knowing there's good rubber all around. Anyway, sounds like a bad wheel bearing. Kinda like a flat spot in the hub bearing race or on a ball, giving a rhythmic pulse with change in speed. It really did sound like a bad tire to me at first, but with new rubber canceling out the tire theory, it has to be the bearing I'm thinking. Took it out last night on a deserted road and loaded the right front wheel by turning hard left and did the same for the other side turning hard right. There is no discernible difference in sound when I load either side with a directional change in steering. It sounds like the passenger front side when going straight but I can't tell for sure. About froze my butt off with all the windows down leaning from side to side trying to find out what wheel was making the noise. I'll put it upon jack stands tomorrow and listen to all four wheels and see if I can determine which wheel it is.

They don't make wheel bearings like they used to ya know.
The swerving thing doesn't do much like in the old days. Hubs are really cheap if you look around a little. I got a set off eBay like 5 years ago now and put them on my '06, they are still quiet.
You can just replace the noisy one but I would do them in a pair.
