2007 Chevy Aveo Sedan

Used this on my 2007 Aveo Sedan because the bushings were hand checked at the factory and were worn and squeaking Sound that was driving me crazy! It was an easy install and it fit perfectly. This lever is virtually identical to the original lever on my 2007 Chevy Aveo sedan. The only difference is the hardware that attaches the ball joint to the actual control arm. OEM hardware is 16mm while Dorman is 17mm. I was hoping to save time and effort by decoupling this hardware from the ball joint of the actual wishbone, so I had to disassemble the knuckle and all that crap. But it all worked when I discovered I could pull this thing out if I unscrewed the posts instead of having to do all that other stuff. There's also a screw that's hard to reach unless you're using a jack to raise the engine a bit. hope that helps!
