New owner in Illinois
Picked up a 08 LT to use for daily transportation as well as a calling card for a bar/ restaurant that I am opening... It is needing a LF wheel bearing & LF LCA bushing judging from the sound... While Im at it Im going to replace both front hubs with Timken units, the struts, hardware & shocks with KYB stuff all from RockAuto & new aluminum control arms with grease-able ball joints from ebay. I'm still up in the air about replacing the new stock type LCA bushings with the Moog problem solvers.. Im also installing a set of Pedders springs as the Canuck springs are currently unavailable. I'd like to thank the forum for all the knowledge I gained to make an informed decision on selecting a HHR as well as the replacement parts to get her back in tip top condition... All the parts have arrived just need to get them on... wildherre

Welcome
I would not recommend getting the Pedders springs. The rears for the HHR were a design problem. Just about everyone that has tried them suffered with the coils banging together over medium to large bumps on the road. Makes a distinctive clunking noise that can be heard and felt. I had them and they made noise as soon as they were installed.
I suggest holding off on the Pedders and find something else.
edit: I know my sig says I have Pedders but they are actually a one off prototype rear springs. Pedders USA sent them as a replacement for the original clunking ones. (pretty sure Pedders USA is out of business also )
