So I keep hearing about cobalts breaking their axles all the time. I figure might as well get information before if I happen to break an axle. Are there any "upgrade" axles for the 2.4 automatics? I looked on ttr and zzp and the only ones were for manuals. I know there are basically no engine mounts and tranny mounts so not sure what to do with all of that good stuff. (only engine mount has been on ttr which i was surprised to see) Well yeah I wanna go to the drag strip sometime this winter but dont want to be worried about my axles n crap. Thanks

 

I don't think u will make enough power to brake them bro, don't worry

 

nice. I wanna go 2.9 pulley and 80s with e85 later on too but gotta get the funds for it first and the car running correctly. figure like what 260 whp on that or something

 

O ok. Maybe u should keep lookong around for them lol and also trans mounts

 

Wait I don't think a manual needs axles.. not sure..maybe if u run slicks? I am no expert

 

I havent seen any trans mounts at all which is pretty annoying. No love for the automatic 2.4s :/ Hope that changes though cuz im planning a serious build for this after i graduate.

Turbo Tech Racing Solid Upper Engine Mount Chevrolet Cobalt 2.2/2.4L HHR 2.0/2.2/2.4L Auto Trans - Drivetrain

only type of mount ive found for my car

 

Both local 2.4 boosted cars (TVS/auto on one and ZZP turbo setup/manual on the other) haven't had any axle/drivetrain issues.

 

I see...this is making me feel better now...do you know if they run any mounts?

 

Nobody makes mounts or axles for the autos. You should probably be ok unless you go crazy with the launches and such.

 

that sucks...feeling left out now lol. I guess I'm going to have to rethink my plans of building car and going turbo and 400+ whp after I graduate

 

We have both the upper mount and trans bushings for the 2.2/2.4L autos:

Upper:

Trans:
Turbo Tech Racing Transmission Race Mounts (Set of 2) Chevrolet Cobalt 2005-10 2.2/2.4L

We are the only company to offer products for the auto trans (as far as mounts)

 

I had forgotten about those...I'm going to be picking some up in the future for sure! For now I have to do maintenance and stop adding stuff to my car lol

 

I would trust TTR. I have their mounts :

 

By mounts I meant that no one made rotated trans mounts for the auto. I hadn't forgotten about your bushings but that's not what he asked about lol

 

That is becuase the cobalt was based around the auto tranny during the initial design, and the axles are stated to be aligned from the factory... No need for them for the auto... Prior threads years ago stated this.

 

I know I changed the mounts on the manual car, I don't recall what mounts are on the auto one, it's been so long since I did the engine swap.
