Replying to: javon7065 (Jun 19, 2008 7:54 am) We can't win with our 2004 Chevy Malibu LT. Its one of the worst cars ever built. We just got notified by our mechanic that BOTH hub bearing assemblies need to be changed. The car was making so much front end noise, it was unbearable and undriveable. ridiculous. Of course we get the nice clunking noise when the car turns. its like the steering colum or steering is just going to fail any second. I'm sorry, but GM is indeed a GENERAL MISTAKE.
#43 of 43 Needed Right Lower control arm for inspection...@45k by javon7065 Oct 17, 2009 (5:04 pm)
Quite surprised I needed this to pass inspection for my 2005 LS. I was told that the ball joint was loose and the whole arm needs to be replaced. Guess the honeymoon period is over. Anyone else had parts like this needed to be replaced at rather low miles, IMO?
