knocking sound...
i have a 2007 cobalt ls 23600 miles...... for the past month every time i hit a small bump i hear a knock... its coming from the driver side front... it seems to be getting worse.... i took the wheel off and looked but i didn't notice anything broke.... only thing i could think of was it was my strut... i dont remember hitting anything...

If you hear anything that sounds odd and your car is under warranty always take it to the dealer! if you only heard the noise once i wouldn't worry to much about it but since it is something that is happening frequently then get it checked out.

Look under the car on the side thats making the noise.....look at the back part of the lower control arm where it goes into the frame.(youre looking for the lower control arm bushing) If you can see any of the bushings sleeve sticking out of the top or botom of the control arm this is your noise, control arm hiting frame. Thats the only common issue I can think of that youll be able to "see"

I dont think you are wrong either Pysko, but the top mounts on the balt are pretty good/durable. Maven is right the FE1 flca bushings are really soft and crummy but i tawt i saw a puddy s/c cat FE5 ...not an FE1 I am such a snob....

100% sway bar end links. Put my OEM springs back on (car is going back soon) and replaced the D/S end link. If you are keeping the car replace both links with aftermarket links that use heim joints on the ends.
