#2 of 9 Car and Driver Article by smogdung Mar 05, 2006 (3:09 am)
Anybody see the Car and Driver article where they pitted a $26,000 fully loaded 230HP PT against a $19,000 1LT HHR...the HHR had the 16s and no sport suspension ...yet it matched the $27K PT Turbo in the lateral acceleration #s...shame they didn't pick a 2LT with the 17s and sport suspension in the comparo.

Replying to: smogdung (Mar 05, 2006 3:09 am) Isn't the HHR based on the Cobalt suspension? The PT is based on the Neon suspension. That's nothing to brag about Replies to this message: poncho167 (Mar 05, 2006 6:33 am)

Replying to: frankact (Mar 05, 2006 4:33 am) The HHR is based on the Cobalt/Ion suspension which is a rather good suspension that is tight and rides very well. The Neon according to the write ups has a descent suspension but not quite as good as the Cobalt's.
#6 of 9 HHR rear end problems by bgmtkt Nov 26, 2007 (6:09 pm)
I purchase a HHR 07 and when I put on brakes, I hear a clunk sounds as if a can is rolling around. I took it back to the dealership and they said the rear plate was loose. I still hear the noise and i took it to two other dealership and they said it fuel sloshing in the tank. Does anyone else hear this sound when they put on brakes.

Replying to: bgmtkt (Nov 26, 2007 6:09 pm) Our 2008 sound lke that it was coming from the front. The dealer ended up changing to a reengineered suspension link. After numerous trips to the dealer they were able to sopt the noise. Replies to this message: 87silver (Apr 08, 2009 7:13 pm)

#9 of 9 Suspension pop by proswani Nov 16, 2009 (1:57 pm)
My 07 HHR LS makes a horrible pop from the front suspension, but only on really cold mornings and only on the 2 mile dirt driveway I have to traverse every morning. My dealer, and all suspension places are 50 miles away, where it is warm and smooth, so no one can recreate the sound. I assume it is a rubber or urethane piece that shrinks in the cold, and returns to normal whenever anyone looks at it. Anyone else have a similar problem??
