    Knocking in passenger front wheel well 2005 ls

    The 2 most common problems for a front end clunk on our cobalts are rear control arm bushings and sway bar end links. The next common 2 are sway bar bushings and strut mounts.

    Rebuilt head issue

    Hey everyone, new to the forum but not to the problematic cobalts. Here's what I have going on: had a WARM idle miss on #4. Ran perfect off idle. Did a leakdown and it ended up being a burnt exhaust valve. I tore it down and sent the head out to be rebuilt and put it all back together...
