So I have a Stock 08 ss/tc and it runs great dont have any problems besides I had to repalce the mass airflow. How ever my front end squeaks im guessing its the shocks or the struts, however I have not taken it in yet. Any one know if there is a common problem or just some wear and tear. I have about 57k.

 

probably just wear and tear with that many miles, could be the sway bar end links, or bushings in the front end, and plus cobalts squeak and rattle when they are new lol

 

define squeak... because sometimes it will do it if its cold out.

 

^^ touche haha

 

Yeah, mine sqeeks when its really cold out during the winter months. By really cold I mean 40* lol

 

Well most suspension will... even though my coilovers haven't lol.

 

yeah i didnt even think of the cold, i live in Nebraska, there is no snow right now but it is only like a high of 22 this week and has been cold for the last few months.

 

Yeah... did it do it when it wasn't cold? lol

 

No it just started, I heard it and when i got into the car and then when I drive over dumps. Never noticed it before. Guess will have to wait til summer to see. Prolly becasue of the cold though. I can have it looked at when I have the oil changed.

 

yeah.. if it happens over bumps its the cold lol

 

^^ touche lol

 

I would wait till it warms up to see if the noise goes away, the suspension on these cars gets squeaky in the cold.

 

Okay cool will do thanks guy. Glad I found some where to talk about cobalts. No one likes these cars in my neighboor hood they all have civics and integras the get stomped everytime yet they still call it the Slobalt.

 

Mine squeeks all the time oon the cold when I go over bumps, always has. When it's warmer it stops

 

Southwest MO 16 degrees. Mine is quite noisy

 

What part of Omaha you in?

 

I live on 96th a Q

 

Ahh very nice. I'm down around 42nd and center.

 

no **** I used to live down of 42nd and bancroft. Might have to meet up some time

 

Yeah for sure man. There are a few cobalts/srt4s that meet up quite a bit.

 

Control arms, and sway links are common. I just had mine done too.

 

Yeah i got a buddy with an 07 ss sc i know he meets up with people everyonce in awhile.


Yeah i think im going to have everything looked at when I take it in for an oil change.
Want to make sure everything is golden before I start modding this summer

 

Is by chance their name Troy or Justin?

 

No his name is Ryan, I do know that we wanted to get a Cobalt ss club started in town though.

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the horrible squeaking when it's cold lol
