new owner 2010 2LT

Good day everyone. Just purchased a 2010 HHR 2LT. it has 87k. I am coming from an 06 silverado so there is a bit of difference but I fit... I discovered a wheel shimmy and a "clicking" sound around 60- to 70 mpg. I spoke with the dealer who sold it to me and suggested the front tires needed to be balanced. From reading in here it appears to be the right direction. he replaced one control arm, the bushings to the sway bar....and brakes all around.

any other advice/opinions are welcome

thanks Kurt

Welcome to the site, Kurt . Enjoy that new to you HHR
Just to clarify it's a 2LT .

It could be a front hub.

A couple other things besides hubs comes to mind. Axle nuts aren't correctly torqued; Loose lug nuts; Loose hubcaps(clicking only).
