Well I have the rear breaks adjusted recently, and now they are working fine. And was told they have good life left, but I'll check them when I can.
After I finish the work in the front, I'm going to look into changing the bushings in the rear suspension. Do you know of a thread on here that has a step by step how to?

Where's Donbrew1 when we need him?



Actually, Gio, you are being a little vague. If you want help, you need to provide more details. If not, then you can just carry on and not try and get people to chime in and try and guess at what you are facing and what you ought to do.

Well my car has over a 100000 miles on it and started to shake, in order to fix the shaking I replaced the hubs and resurfaced the rotors with new pads. Now that the shaking is gone there is squeaking coming from the front and rear of the vehicle. So I changed the shocks all around and the front sway bar end links. Now all there is left to change is the front lower control arms and rear axle bushings and it should ride quiet and perform like new.

Each part in have purchased, for a much cheaper price I might add than having someone put them in and with free labor from myself, has made noticeable differences in drive performance and less squeak. After lower control arm change there should be no noise coming from the front what so ever.

Yes my questions might seem all over the place, but it's because I have been figuring things out as I go along and run into new things that I replace.

Did you replace the front sway bar bushings, they are a source of squeaks and rattles

No I did not, I'll check those after the lower control arms.

I moved some of the new stuff into a new thread. Here: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/main...erature-53088/ and here : https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/prob...control-53089/
This one is now closed.
