Sway Bar Problems of Chevrolet Cobalt

The sway bar, control arms, & bushings were all faulty. The entire front end will have to be rebuilt due to subpar parts being used in manufacturing.

Took car in to replace struts due to clunking sound while going over any surface that was not perfectly smooth. Turns out the sway bar and bearings were failing and needed to be replaced. Apparently I was very close to a possible bad accident. It was quite costly to repaint and I am finding this is a common problem gm is aware of.

My 2007 chevy colbalt is making knocking when I let off the gas, go over bumbs, or just set in the car. I have taken my car to a mech and they told me its my sway bar links and my strut/shock is leaking. How in the world can a sway bar link fail under normal driving conditions and not that very many miles on the car. It looks as thou I am not the only chevy owner with this problem. Gm needs to fix this serious issue! I know I cannot afford to fix it.
