Was it in a package with the part number on it? The part number seems to be correct, but if they store them in bins it could be misfiled.

Don't know if this reply made it, so, the bag is marked 1158-8890, bolt, front wheel. By the way, I stated that it was a 14mm head but in fact it's a 13mm...........???

I doubt the threads will fit. That's 2 sizes smaller. I don't remember the hex head being over sized.

Same shank size, just a different head size.

I found this

11588890 - Genuine GM BOLT, Steering Knuckle Spindle

And this , just scroll down to part number 8


Chevrolet HHR SUSPENSION/FRONT


Looks like that the part number!
Maybe GM figured out that hard to get at bolt by using a smaller socket!

i have a 2009 and its pretty rusty what technique did you use to remove the old bearings?
