Same here today, we are having a mini heat-wave, so hand washing was out for me.. Least mine is clean.

 

Had the timing chain/ balance shaft chain replaced today parts n labor $1005.00 .

 

I dealt with the cage bolts , moved things over to the BlackSwan thread

 

Guess what I'm doing this weekend.

Christmas in July? I believe so.
I'll give you 3 chances.

 

Struts and sway bar bushings.
But. Since your's is a 2006 2LT, then I'll guess it has that oddball smaller diameter sway bar ? In other words, do you need 23mm bushings instead of the 25mm that most of them have ?

 

Lots of PB Blaster on the strut bolts, and lube up the swaybar endlinks, the top bolt has to come off , thankfully not the bottom, unless those aren’t in the photo.

 

I do know that I have the FE3 suspension.
I haven't measured the actual sway bar so we'll see when I get there.

 

No HHR activity today, temps hit 98* & the "feel like" was 106* not normal for here..

 

Nothing for mine either, actually its sitting against the garage wall making room for the Camaro to get out..
Wont happen though until it cools a little. No fun with heat index at or even near triple digits.!

 

it seems like Shocks, Struts, and Bushings are in the air.... i just finished having Mechanic install front, rear, R/L LCA Bushings (Moog Problem Solvers), tightened up loose things, installed a new (rubber, into gas tank) filler hose, Discovered a loose brake pad, and ordered a pair of moog sway bar bushings.
Now going over potholes isn’t painfully loud, and no more clicking at stop signs (pad). Lol
