The LSJ knuckle is the exact same as was used on every other cobalt except the LNF cobalts, they got a revised one that was stronger. GM made this knuckle as the upgrade for the LSJ knuckle and thus works on every other cobalt except the LNF. CED sells them

I refuse to drive my car to this one ski place we go to a few times a week about an hour away. At the start of the year it's fine but about mid winter from the plows there are potholes everywhere, luckily a friend is willing to accept $15 every time we go and cover his gas (it's a good hour drive each so it's pretty fair).

My winter wheels are Ion Redline wheels this year with 225/45/17 tires so... yeah not the best but need something to clear the Brembos.

Not a bad price at all, I would pay 30 lol I'm not looking forward to the first winter on coilovers. Hopefully I don't end up with a thread like this.

Purley amazing looking at the pictures again. Wow
Did you contact the city?? Make a fuss about this? Ive herd if people doing this and getting somethig to compensage for damages etc etc
people complain to the local townships all the time, theres nothing we can do, they undertake these massive highway reconstruction and revamp projects and use workers who have the IQ of a 5 grader. If you would have heard me screaming on the top of my lungs after hitting that thing you would have laughed your ass off. No less then a few days prior there were litterally "speed bumps" all down the highway. They were cutting the expansion joints out of the road and just filling them in with asphalt and leavin these huge humps in the road that spanned all 3 lanes. People were coming to almost complete stops in the middle of a major highway trying to go over them without destroying their car's.

Then they got the ****** nerve to put these signs up that say "YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!" on the side of the road.

This, there's really nothing I could have done about the pothole. My sister had a similar situation as me but when she called the state said she had to pay a fee and fill out a form then get insurance quotes to fix it, etc... would have taken way too long to get money back, if I ever do. I hit it in northern jersey, in Secaucus (they're in the processing of paving all the highways in the area for the superbowl this year) I only went through my insurance to get the car towed to my sister's house. The parts cost me about $250 for everything, I also bought coilovers this summer and installed them when I fixed everything. I bought a G6 knuckle as well but I didn't do enough research before I did and found out the hard way that an LSJ hub doesn't fit the G6 knuckle.
