probably not,,,but do you have a pic of your control arms ?

I know there are different control arms based upon what trim level Cobalts have. I don't know if those will work in any trim level of cobalt,,, anyone?

Those are awesome though, I love mine :twothumbs

Edit: Nevermind, they advertise them as working for non ss/redline as well.

Those look identical, you might be in luck. If you can get one pulled out, I will measure my stock bushings and you'll know for sure.

On a side note, It looks like they actually gave you guys better axles. Ours don't have that beefed up area in the half shafts, our actually taper right before the CV

Those look like cobalt arms so they might work. Pull a arm and get it mesuared they are pretty easy to take out.

They should work. From what I have been able to find out the HHR has all the same suspension parts as the SS N/A dose.

With the exeption of stiffer springs and revalved struts do to it being heaver then the cobalt.

On a side note we share the same bolt pattern too.

I just picked up a set of 16" HHR rims (http://www.cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?p=566812#post566812) for my winter tires.

BTW, I also wrote a how to on doing that CAB install (http://www.cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?t=33263) if you're gonna try em. THey're a bit of a pain in te ass. Also, when we did my buddies his stock bushings wouldn't press out. So we had to saw them out,, was actually a little easier, but his stock bushings were ruined obviously. I did mine early (~4000 miles), so that may be why mine came out so easy. HTH :cssNET:

hey man i just thought of something call up your local dealership and ask them to give you the part number for a control arm bushing for a cobalt and then ask for one for an HHR. if they are the same number it'll fit. just cause it is on a differnat car won't mean it's a differant part number. most if the guys at the parts counters will be clad to help especially if they know you're a car guy like them.
