Ok I have some information that I have seen here and there that I would like to inquire about.

My cobalt, like many others, goes clunk over bumps at low speed.
But one thing I never hear talked about is, at low speed turning,
it also does it.
From what I've read, it sounds like the "clunk" low speed bumps is caused
by a worn out control arm bushing. Also I have heard that this can cause
wheel hop. I have an ingalls dampener and I used to not get wheel hop,
however now I do. I didnt really think much of the wheel hop since I hardly
ever get on it to where it would hop. I figured it was because I still have stock mounts. But when I read about the control arm bushings causeing hop I started to think back to when I first got it, I could peel out my wheels with no hopping.

I have had the Power Steering Recall completed, and there is no noticable differance
in anything. I never had any PS Problems before.

So would I have worn out Control Arm bushings? Or is something ealse going on? Or should I just turn up the music, because cobalts like to make noise.

 

Does it pull to the left or right on acceleration? Because mine has all of that plus what you have.

 

It does alittle bit, but that's just torque steer, and from what I understand that's normal for a FWD to do that.

 

its the control arm bushings my went bad so did my dads

 

Also, loose sway bar end links can also cause a clunking noise.

What about the intermediate steering column or whatever. I know my steering clicks when I turn the wheel.
