we have a 2006 cobalt ls, 45,000 miles. when going over bumps in the road and expecially down rocky drive it is makeing very loud clunking noises. Sounds like coming from both sides in front. Both tires are new and balanced, they were removed and everything is tight. Swaybar links have been replaced and seem tight. Any help?
THIS IS THE REAR CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS THE BANGING IS THE CONTROL ARM HITTING THE K FRAME

I have a 2006 Chevy Cobalt. Power Steering is coming up on the message center and the check engine light came on. The power steering is not working and the transmission is shifting hard. I took it to Auto Zone and when they hooked it up they could not get a reading. Told me to take it to the dealer. Would like to figure a way to fix it myself. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
So I fell victim just as everyone else has. I hit 45,000 miles and my power steering went out and it cost $900 to fix it.
In order to get Chevy to recall this problem we all need to call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 or visit http://www.SaferCar.gov It will only take a few minutes.
I made a video and put it on youtube to help build awareness on the subject:

I have a 2006 Chevy Cobalt LS coupe. Just today the key got stuck in the ignition and wouldnt come out until we pressed a button inside the steering wheel and it came out. But now everytime i turn on the car the key gets stuck again. Whats the problem? Is it the ignition switch or the shifter?
Does anyone know what the recalled part is for the Chevy Cobalt that causes the key to get stuck in the ignition? I would greatly appreciate any help on this as I do not have $600 to get it fixed.

How do I disable the alarm system for my 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt? Every time I unlock the doors and open them, a short honk beeps in 1 second intervals, and then after ten seconds proceeds to the full honking alarm. This happens both when I unlock the car using the turn-key lock and the inside electric unlock button. Rather than get into technical wiring or fixes, I would much rather simply disable the alarm.
My colbolt Ss does the same thing.. I just went under the hood an pulled the horn fuse it will disable the horn.. An your wrong amazon.com has key fob for 25 bucks

need power steering diagram for 2001 monte carlo
There is usually no diagram for the power steering on a vehicle. On power steering you have a pressure line and a low pressure return line. The pump is located on the front of the engine and has a line that is bolted into it, this is the pressure line coming out going to the steering gearbox where it is bolted in also. The other line has a clamp holding it in place, this is the low pressure return line coming back from the gearbox. If the gearbox is the rack and pinion steering type then you may have a couple of extra high pressure lines on it to operate the rack portion of the steering. Good Luck, RAC

how to reset the computer on the car chevey cobalt
If you mean the computer for your engine, you have to do it with a plug in scanner. Disconnecting the battery does not reset codes.

WHERE IS THE KNOCK SENSOR ON A 2006 CHEVY COBALT TO REPLACE IT.
Not related to the O2 sensor. Located on the front of the engine just
above the starter KNOCK SENSOR (KS) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
The knock sensor (KS) system enables the engine control module (ECM) to
control the ignition timing for the best possible performance while
protecting the engine from potentially damaging levels of detonation.
The ECM uses the KS system to test for abnormal engine noise that may
indicate detonation, also known as spark knock.
SENSOR DESCRIPTION
The knock sensor (KS) system uses a flat response 2-wire sensor. The
sensor uses piezo-electric crystal technology that produces an AC
voltage signal of varying amplitude and frequency based on the engine
vibration, or noise, level. The amplitude and frequency are dependant
upon the level of knock that the KS detects. The engine control module
(ECM) receives the KS signal through a signal circuit. The KS ground is
supplied by the ECM through a low reference circuit.
The ECM learns a minimum noise level, or background noise,
at idle from the KS and uses calibrated values for the rest of the RPM
range. The ECM uses the minimum noise level to calculate a noise
channel. A normal KS signal will ride within the noise channel. As
engine speed and load change, the noise channel upper and lower
parameters will change to accommodate the KS signal, keeping the signal
within the channel. In order to determine which cylinders are knocking,
the ECM only uses KS signal information when each cylinder is near top dead center (TDC) of the firing stroke. If knock is present, the signal will range outside of the noise channel.
If the ECM has determined that knock is present, it will ****** the
ignition timing to attempt to eliminate the knock. The ECM will always
try to work back to a zero compensation level, or no spark ******. An
abnormal KS signal will stay outside of the noise channel or will not be
present. KS diagnostics are calibrated to detect faults with the KS
circuitry inside the ECM, the KS wiring, the KS voltage output, or
constant noise from an outside influence such as a loose/damaged
component or excessive engine mechanical noise.

the car says (ice possible )what does that mean
It says "ice possible" when the outside temp reads 32degrees or under. Its basically just a warning that its most liekly nasty out.
