You all must be Prophets. They couldn't find anything to fix, tell my the guy with the black one is same thing but worse, they can't find his either. That didn't make me feel any better.

I think it's the sway bar bushings. Does anyone know where to get good aftermarket ones for the short bus, I'm going to change them and see.

The SS has a different bar, that number wouldn't fit.

That looks just right, if I have a 25mm bar. I think I read somewhere it is 23. Doesn't it slide in it ?

I think the SS has a 23mm bar... a 25mm bushing would be loose.

What Did You Do To Your HHR Today?

Lots of driving, & a beautiful sunny day...

& if it wasn't for the freakin' kidney stone that has begun to torture me, I might even have enjoyed the traveling.

I feel your pain sleeper, K-Stones are no fun at all. You know the usual drill, drink water like mad to help pass them and take your "happy pills" to deal with the pain.

Hope you feel better soon, take care of yourself OK.
