The HHR Pinion Washer from Chevrolet provides a strong clamping force for the steering or differential assembly to prevent leaks. This small yet important Pinion Washer is made out of strong steel. The washer sits between the nut and flange of the pinion shaft and spreads the load evenly so that driving vibrations never back the nut off. The Pinion Washer increases drivetrain efficiency by locking in lubricant and preventing heat buildup while also protecting occupants through predictable handling. It fits nicely on all 2006 to 2011 HHR trims. It has the same diameter and thickness as the OEM unit, allowing owners to swap it in without the fuss of whether their vehicle uses the economical 2.2 liter engine or the lively turbocharged SS setup. The Pinion Washer's first flat style was already tough enough to pass factory ratings. The new cupped design introduces tiny gripping edges that bite into metal for extra security on big highway trips. Motorists appreciate how this detail helps their Chevrolet maintain quietness going over rough pavement and control messy oil spray that can otherwise reach its hot exhaust parts. The testing indicates that a new Pinion Washer maintains factory torque specifications which allow the front wheel drive system to continue to transfer horsepower smoothly through the HHR's F35, Getrag F23, or 4T45 transmissions. The Pinion Washer limits friction by maintaining the seal pressure and reducing unnecessary wear. Furthermore, it also slightly improves fuel economy when applied for daily commutes. Experienced enthusiasts are aware that the quality control at Chevrolet specified this Pinion Washer with specific surface treatments such that every HHR that left the factory met stringent durability targets. Consequently, replacing it with the same Chevrolet original part restores the precise road feel of the HHR at launch. Opting for the Pinion Washer instead of a generic spacer is a great way to keep your Chevrolet warranty friendly. No HHR will have a problem with running daily errands with factory confidence.
