I have a 2009 HHR LS and am having extreme difficulty in finding spindle nuts that are not GM. The last one I had to pay over $15 at the dealership.

Does anyone know the part number for a spindle nut for the 2009 LS?

I threw out the package back in January thinking I would not need to change again but I am getting codes and noise.

Is it the same nut that is used on the 2006-2008 of which there seem to be plenty of aftermarket?

Thanks.

 

Axle nuts do not need to be replaced ever time you take them off the axle. Just reuse the current ones.

Just to clarify "our" axle nuts do not need to be replaced. They do not use any kind of Teflon threading or tabs to help prevent the nut from loosening. Ours use pure old heavy torque. 155 lb ft of it.




You have codes again that you had just this past January. This sounds like the problem that you should be asking about. Are the codes ABS/wheel speed codes or tranny codes?

 

The "book" says to replace them everytime they are removed. Not to say I do it (I don't)

I am pretty sure Advance/Zone/O'reilly have them. Somebody said they got them readily at one of those places in the last couple of years.

As far as I know it's the same axle, same hub, same nut.

 

I replaced both of my cv's and reused the old axle nut both times
