Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY COBALT SINCE NEW. CAR HAS 109,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD A FEW PROBLEMS SOME THAT DEALER TOOK CARE OF UNDER WARRANTY. I STARTED NOTICING A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE PS FRONT OF THE CAR ON 12/09. I FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM REAR BUSHING WAS COMPLETELY WORN OUT CAUSING THE CONTROL ARM TO MOVE FORWARD/BACKWARD CAUSING THE NOISE. I REPLACED BOTH PS & DS BUSHINGS WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON A CAR WITH THIS LOW MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED CARS WITH WELL OVER 200,000 MILES ON THEM AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. *TR
