They are not if you have a press...
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
I am working on this problem,but snow storm is delaying me. I know it is not,strut sticking, upper strut bearing, CV axle, Rack and pinion bushing, ball joint,and the new tires. I will be checking Control arm bushing,horazonal and vertical, roll bar bushings. The car seem to wonder so I must keep very aware Cavalier 1999 z24 A/T. Any Ideals?
I am having the same problem and it turns out to be that the bushing in the control arm to the frame is shot. The control arm is not suppose to move at all. This will also cause tire wear. You can actually replace the bushing at an inexpensive cost however, if you try to buy the bushing kit from the Saturn dealer, they will tell you that you have to replace the control arm. That is very expensive. By the way , you need a press to replace the bushing.
alternator needs to be replaced. battery also might be a problem due to the alternator not charging it
AnswerUsually its a design problem, GM & some chryslers have a design similar to a hockey puck mounted horizontally with a vertical bushing in the center. These are very common for breaking. If they used a horizontal bushing design (as in the older RWD cars) the lifespan would be much longer as the stress would moreso be riding on steel bushing not the rubber mount part of the bushing (smaller rubber area needed). Eg: 2000 Chev Cavalier/Pontiac Sunfire front control arm bushings, Rear vertical bushings are very common and I have yet to replace a front horizontal bushing. For an answer that is specific the year, make, and model is needed.
I had this problem and took my 1990 cavalier to a shop. Nothing came up on diagnostic so they decided my ignition module and coil packs needed to be replaced. This fixed my problem but costed me around 450.00!
A diagnostic tester can identify the problem with your Chevrolet Camaro electronic module control. Most Chevrolet dealerships are equipped with diagnostic testing tools.

my 05' cavalier has a bad alternator problem its charging the battery a little bit then stops and the little power my battery has is drained by the end of the night. I replaced the alternator twice and the battery but still no difference.
