Vented front disc brakes with single-piston calipers and composite rear drum brakes are standard on LS, LT and LTZ. Rear wheel travel, at 126.5 mm in jounce and 68.5 mm in rebound, is longer than most vehicles in the segment.

The cradle is mounted to the Cobalt’s space frame at four widely spaced points.Ĭobalt’s torsion beam rear suspension provides excellent ride and handling, while maximizing interior space. All front suspension components are mounted to a new, rigid cradle assembly comprised of four large hydroformed steel tubes and two side members that are integrally welded to front and rear cross members.

The front control arms are made from steel on the FE1 suspension and are aluminum on the FE3 and FE5 suspensions. L-shaped front control arms contain a forward pivot bushing, which transmits most of the cornering force, and a larger, high-damped composite rear elastomeric bushing that allows rearward movement to minimize harshness from road surface impacts.
