But after all, our editorial Cobalt has already driven 156 thousand kilometers on Russian roads, and we may well draw conclusions about whether this car is suitable for our conditions in principle.
Well, the Cobalt’s suspension is simple (McPherson in the front and a semi-independent beam in the rear), durable and with excellent energy intensity. But everything has a limit, although in this case it is quite distant and predictable.
The shock absorber struts have endured 60 thousand kilometers, bought for replacement – the same amount. The front shock absorbers, before the superstructure appeared when passing large obstacles, passed twice as much, after which they were replaced along with the upper struts.

The lower levers are even more durable, they gave up only at 155 thousand km: the rear silent blocks came off, and the first signs of play appeared in one of the ball bearings due to a cracked anther. Purchasing these parts separately is expensive given the subsequent work on replacing silentblocs and drilling ball bearing rivets, so we changed the lever assembly.
