I just recently got back my cobalt after years. I love how solid the vehicle is. I love how sure footed it is. I Love the stupid power. What I don't love is the vibration. Anyone have a how to on getting rid of vibrattions in the car. I half want to rip out the inside and just make it "racecar" but would love to have the inside stay inside as well

 

You running NBS or deletes in your new engine set up?

 

Nbs.

I think its the exhaust. But I remember the car always rattled a little

 

Oh it rattles a little alright. Nbs doesnt help haha. There are cheaper lighter versions of dynamat kinda stuff that im thinking of trying out. Sucks cause ideally u dont wanna add any weight but man the vibes suck.

 

Yaaaa I ran NBS for half a summer then took them out cause everything in my interior rattled hard at highway speeds which I do a lot of and the vibes sucked. Hated it.

 

mine doesn't rattle or vibrate much and I have nbs

 

Im running a Bs delete and really mine didnt get much worse. Some low rpms vibes then its smooth

 

I felt more vibes when I put in trans mounts over the nbs with my car

 

I've got rotated mounts and tq damper. I think that is what is giving the vibes. I may look into that sound stuff. Any link to the product?

 

ya I have rotated mounts ant the TD as well and to me that gave off more vibration than nbs, maybe not the TD just the mounts but u get what im saying...and I just run zzp nbs

 

I ran no accessory chain and didn't have any vibrations from it ...... I don't think my car vibrates at all really.

 

Are you sure you got a Cobalt? Mine squeaks and rattles like hell lol. My old Ranger had less rattles than this.

 

lol yeh, my rear deck rattles, my pass door panel rattles, etc etc

 

my trunk is full of fatmat
find my thread

 

Don't get me wrong the car rattles all over, but the chassis/suspensionsuspension/power delivery. It's solid as hell

 

This is your first car isn't it.

 

Hahaha Ya it's my first car. You got me.... Idiot

 

My car is pretty solid for a cobalt as well. I dont have the rattles or squeaks people claim on here.

I purchased it brand new, and I strongly believe taking care of it from day one helped a lot. I also never took apart my interior like lots of kiddies on here tend to do to paint parts.

I'm not saying it rides like a caddy, but for an eco car with a stiff suspension she isnt all that bad.

My wifes equinox feels like you are driving on clouds. That vehicle is solid as hell.
