Moog Control Arm Bushing 6698
I just wanted to make a thread stating that the Moog 6698 does work in our cars, and does tighten up the feel of the front end. I was searching and couldn't find much info on it, so just adding it for future searchers.
Originals lasted about 70k, I would think these would outlast them by a considerable margin and cost less than $9 each.

Good choice, but the Moog K200792's are superior as they are a bushing / bearing , tightens up the front end nicely!
The HHR is not on the list , apparently because Moog hasn't tried them yet, so they won't stick their neck out, something to do with unlike metals and possibly corrosion.
I've had mine installed for a few years and over 100,000 miles now, they work great for me.

Some chemist out there could explain why "they" say not to butt steel up to aluminum alloy. Anodes and cathodes and electrons. Most people don't know about it, so they don't worry about it.

I hear you, yeah they're a hugh improvement, but next time get the K200792
And yes I think a lot of us understand different metals and corrosion, like steel spark plugs in aluminum head, front hubs in steering knuckle, steel exhaust clamps and aluminized or galvanized pipe. There are more examples

Just found these on E-Bay, little pricey for zinc coating. For use in aluminium control arms.
