You can tell if the bushings are bad. Torn, cracked, bits and pieces missing, etc.

And there's a reason people like ZZP changed to an automatic.

my clunk turned out to be the CAB, it literally fell apart when i took the control arm off.

tried to fix my clunking noise... thought it was sway bar endlinks but it isnt regardless they needed changed lol.. pretty sure its a ball joint.. also tried to adjust the wastegate but i didnt have a swivel socket for the position the nut is in..

Does the clunking accelerate when you do? My car has the same problem. Put the car on stands and pull on the top and bottom of the wheel. If there is play its a bearing. Pull on the axles if there's play+a noise it could also be them. I don't want to replace this ****....

Zzp axles are for an f35...which sucks

it's easier to just get the fe5 control arms and swap out the whole thing. maybe half an hour each side if you work slow like me lol

jdn902

yeah its probably you cabs...they're a common thing to replace on cobalts....cavaliers have the same problem but worse lol

any of you guys own Honda Ruckus'?

I want to get a ruckus lol or just get a real bike i suppose. I'm going to sturgis this year with my step dad's harley

lol im trying to convince my parents but they are so set on the fact that they arent safe. theyre not scared of me doing anything stupid, theyre just scared of other drivers ramming into me. im gonna get one, but i just gotta wait. either i convince them or if one pops up that i cant deny, might have to disappoint someone lol.

also, on a side note: still wondering how much a powell rear sway bar is and how much better it is than TTR. im not looking for extreme handling but just a little bit better.

also, has anyone painted their stock interior panels? i was thinking of doing the black interior spray that you can pick up at autozone. any suggestions?

I used graphite wheel paint for my interior pieces.It matches my wheels.clear coated too.Looks pretty darn good.

Yea that was my main concern. I cant control my shifts, and harder to spool.

That was another reason why, cheaper and its just fun to play around with.
