Feel front end shake when accelerating only from 1st gear sounds like and almost feels like the whole front end is going to fall apart. Car has 280,000 KM on it just had new struts and swaybar links installed. Seemed to get better with the new struts, but can sometimes be felt starting in 1st gear.

Motor mount?

  3. Problems and Service
    I get this sound when I brake, hit bumps and drive on rough roads. I'm looking to buy a kit that has the controls arms with the ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, bushings and brake pads and rotors. The pads and rotors are fairly new but have started squeaking so I'm replacing them.
  5. Problems and Service
    Maybe I’ve been a bit rough on the old Cobalt since I’ve owned it. Or maybe it’s that it’s 15 years old and has 140k miles on it. But it’s time to change the Engine and transmission mounts. While the engine doesn’t really vibrate the car much, I have noticed more vibration over the past 20k...
  6. Problems and Service
    I will start this off by saying that my knowledge of cars begins and ends with changing a tire and putting fluids in the thing. I have a 2008 cobalt Lt. It has not been in any major accidents that I know of. My air bag light used to only go on sometimes and turning off the car and restarting it...
