I have a 08 SS im looking to get new struts and shocks for because of the bottoming out sound and popping noise it makes but every web site i call they don't carry struts and shocks for the HHR SS model only the LT model so does anybody know where I can find them

 

Welcome to the site, see under suspension, struts FE5 only GM has them

https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/comm...-part-i-48833/

 

Welcome
According to Rock Auto site they are now available
Part # 506667 , {#19179738}
# 560581 , {#19179741, 20794824}

 

Yeah, just like LCA's probably incorrect valveing

 

Correct - as already listed in the Parts number list here:
- GM: P/N 19179738 (right side) - P/N 20794824 (left side) - (from member andyb)
- AC DELCO: 506667 (right-side) - P/N 560581 (left side) - (from member sinabu)

If one goes thru the Rock Auto menu selecting make/year/model, it lists the same struts for the SS as the non-ss models. But it does not list the ACDelco ones for the SS. But it seems they are available by looking for the part numbers at the top of the page.

 

So the numbers in the link I put in post #2 are correct, right!

 

Yup! You nailed it. AGAIN.
:)

 

Just setting cautious directions, you know the problems of the FE5 and the ball joint size issue. I'd bet most would be unhappy getting FE1 ride just cause the struts bolt up to the SS

 

Hi Cody08SS,
I just bit the Suspension Bullet myself - $450 in parts (struts and mounts and end links and bushings and shocks, no LCA's yet) from RockAuto. It makes even MORE curious noises at 18 degrees!

Thanks to our diligent members I was able to identify the proper part numbers - sure are lots of "updates" to these parts!

Best of luck to you!

(mine's a '10 SS with 64,xxx miles)

 

im putting kyb's with eibach sprtlines on mine....i hope i dont regret it
