And it cost me $6 extra lol.
Might that jolt be tired engine mounts or likewise g'box? (just guessing)

Also got a price on kings lowered springs there to, Fitted and supplied for $370. Lower it about 35mm. I would love to go 60mm but that might be a little to much without changing the shocks and getting a adjustable pan hard rod.
I'm no expert but have often heard reference to the importance of retaining (or renewing) those special Holden-OE 'voided' bushes in the trailing arms, as aftermarket replacements induce twitchyness. Apparently burnouts quicky destroy these bushes

It was funny watching them fit my tail-shaft, they are drive shaft specialist Took them 4 tail-shafts to get the right one I was almost about to yell out you should have used the tape measure from the bloody start
Driveshaft specialists .. but tapemeasure idiots I'm surprised there actually are 4 non-interchangable shaft specs for VP sedans - or even the VN-VR V6 SWB range (including IRS)
