    What happened to the 3 years free servicing Holden?

    Do not get over excited about the free servicing....they probably use sump oil, same sump plug and not change the oil filter......and the apprentice they hired 1 month ago will do the job....on gov. subsidies...."there is no such thing as a free lunch" .......:boohoo:

    Yes it is quite ok with the original nuts....I took the plastic caps off my VE SV6 18" wheels to see what the transformation would be like...it certainly changes the style and looks and is quite impressive.....I like it just darkens up the wheels and gives them another look...I also measured up...

    Vibration in steering

    From memory yes....not a wobble...but a slight vibration being transmitted to the steering wheel....and more pronounced whilst braking.

    Vibration in steering

    Do the rear rotors as I have said before.....if the rotors are warped it will effect the steering under braking.
