That’s correct they have a new zinc coated bushing, that new part number is in the RockAuto site, I’ve had the non zinc coated bushings in place now for a few years, no corrosion

The Colbalt and Pontiac G5 came with the stamped steel LCA’s, with the four lug hubs.

Thanks for the correction. All this time I thought there was two different ones for the HHR.

if you swap out the bushing with the moog "problem solver" bushing...should we change out the balljoint and the lower bushing also?

If you want to.

I'd only change them if they need it.

That front bushing doesn't get much wear from what I saw. I had to replace one of the lower ball joints as it got some water in it and started to show visible rust dripping from the rubber boot - yup - sloppy and total worn out.

LCA rear bushings and ball joints , yes, that front bushing seldom wears out.
