Consumer Description

TERRIBLE CLUNKING SOUND IN THE FRONT END OF MY 2007 COBALT. DEALER SAYS ITS CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS AND SWAY BAR LINKS. PERSONAL MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE SWAY BAR LINKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT ALSO SAW THAT THE ARM BUSHINGS WERE IN PERFECT CONDITION AND PERFECTLY TIGHT. REPLACED LINKS, BUT NOISE PERSISTS. WHEN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT I WENT TO THE INTERNET WHERE I DISCOVERED THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. HELP PLEASE AND INVESTIGATE SO GM CAN RECALL THE FAULTY MATERIALS. *TR
