Clunk noise in my 2007 Chevrolet HHR or Pontiac G6
23,00 miles.
I have a clunk noise in the front end of my HHR. It happens when i am turning the
wheel, and also when going over bumps in the road. Most of the time it is when going
over a set of rail road tracks. I had the steering and struts checked at a local shop, but
they said they did not see anything. Is there a common problem with these cars?
By what you are describing, this sounds like a common problem on the HHR, Cobalt, Pontiac G6
and other models 2008 and 2009, with a 'Front stabilizer bar link / arm'. There is one on each
wheel. It connects the lower control arm to the front stabilizer bar. The bar helps control body roll
when turning. There is a ball socket joint on the top and bottom of the arm. (See pic below).
With the year and mileage, this noise condition would be under the factory warranty, even if this is
not the problem.
