Hello folks. I just picked up my 2008 yellow Aveo5 5 speed. The previous owner was a pick up driver who got transfered with a long commute, so he bought the Aveo. He then got his old job back, and didn't need it anymore.

The rear had a bad clunk that turned out to be the rear axle bushings. After finding out about the whole axle needing replacement, I figured I'd live with it. This site saved the day with all the knowledge about the car, and after a trip to NAPA for some Golf bushings, I can now hear the squeaks in the front end to deal with. A local shop quoted $1500 to do front lower control arm bushings, sway bar links, struts and shocks, and straighten two wheels. I had them do the wheels, and I'll start on the rest.

So thanks to the admins and Aveo owners who have made this a great site!
