Rear control arm bushings

I'm not sure what you're asking, there's no rear control arm on an HHR.

Prothane bushings use the OEM metal part

We usually call it a swing arm. Mainly to differentiate it from the front LCAs.

Interesting, part #16 is labeled as SUPPORT. Rear Axle Control Arm.
But none of the other parts in the diagram are labeled as a control arm. Maybe leftover nomenclature from older rear suspension designs.

#18 is labeled Axle beam insulator. INSULATOR - REAR (RR) SUSPENSION. Suspension Subframe Insulator.

What is 19 called?

Parts nomenclature is rather arbitrary, mostly driven by convention, often decided at a very low level.

Source: I have named a lot of parts, mostly in my early days as a detail draftsman. Whatever my simple mind put in the title block, unless the checker or some other senior person objected, became that part’s name forever.

I would have called 16 a bracket.

I know this is an older thread but today I heard a clunk from the rear of the car as I was backing up with somewhat of an acceleration. Heard it again as I put in in drive. Haven't had a chance to jack it up yet but Im guessing thats about the only thing back there that can cause a clunk. I have new springs and the rubber spring dampers installed along with newer shocks. Bearings spin free and are tight. Axle beam bushing time?
