Which Brand part # brake shoes will fit my 2007 HHR LT ?

Went to order ACDelco 14795B from Amazon and the first 2 reviews said they are diff dimension from originals and don't fit in the drum because they are longer.
One reviewer says the Raybestos 795PG dont fit either for the same reason.
A third reviewer had to buy aftermarket brake spring kit something to do with a half circle hole.

Centric 11107951 also says they dont fit. Too long.
Wagner Z795 also has negative comments about not fitting a 2009 HHR. Also comment about hole in adjuster.

I would appreciate if somebody could provide a CONFIRMED part# that fits my 2007 HHR LT.

2007 uses a different part than 2009. That is pointed out in the second review of the Wagner Z795.
Note they all have 795 in the part number.

This spring kit would work

The Wagner Z795 would work for 2007? Would I have to buy the $35 kit with it?

That spring kit is ALL of the hardware. Some people don't bother replacing any of it, some people replace some of it; there are other kits

795 seems to be the correct number for 2006-2008. The design changed during the 2008 production year.

The GM part number for 2006- 2008 is 19256491 according to the part number thread https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/comm...-thread-48833/

And that's ACDelco #171-0890

Thanks for the Part # thread.

I called Wagner cust serv and gave them my model info and the GM part #, 19256491, and they said the Z795 would work for my 2007 LT.
Hope they are right. That's the ones am getting then.

If the Wagner Z795 doesn't work I'll get the ACDelco #171-0890.

thanks

The point of having the GM and ACDelco part numbers is to cross reference them. 171-0890 = Z795. Most listing on eBay have a section for "other part numbers" don't know about Amazon.

I doubt you are willing to pay the ACDelco price, somewhere around $95.

When I searched by GM part # on Rockauto, Amazon, and even Google I did not find a single listing of Z795 showing 19256491 as the alternate part. The ACDelco 14795B & 17795B excluded it.
I did see ACDelco 1710890 had it and I am willing to pay the ACDelco price of $95 but it would not be my first choice.

All that crap needs to come out to change the shoes anyway so you might as well do new. Thats what I did. Be warned; it was the biggest pain in the ass job on this car ive done at least, and I have done all the common things (suspension, fan, motor mounts, etc)
