Moog K6698's should be readily available at your local parts store if you can't wait/can't afford Powell's replacements.

John Powell spends more time developing parts than his website, and that's why he doesn't have a functioning order online website, pm him on here with what you would like (trailing cabs) with your info including a paypal email and john will forward the info to gloria who will invoice you. If you don't have a paypal still pm him your information and you'll probably have to call the order in.

Does anyone have pictures of the Powell trailing cabs? Are they spherical? Will they fit on a 2009 cobalt SS?

One vote against Moogs. They are virtually impossible to put back in because of the type of rubber and size. I gave up and had a vice and press. I ended up getting new arms because of it, and turned out the old ones weren't even the problem lol. Powell all the way, the end!

Did you grease them before trying to press them in?

When you don't have the right tools, any job is hard. I put the Moogs in easy with a press.
Easier with the second time around to use the one already out as a guide or whatever.

The frame bolt on the car is what took the longest. Pressing in and out the bushings were easier.
