Hi Guys, Yesterday i had my windshield replaced and the Plastic Grille between the windshield and bonnet is sitting up the whole way along and i cannot push it back down, the right side used to always pop out and i could push it back down but since this replacement the whole thing isn't flush...

mine is an 04/11 and series 2 so the change is still 5 months after that, bit weird

Ooook, now that i have looked at the monroe website again theres actually a little button you can press when hovering over the part number and it lets you 360 view the part, they do both look the same. just a different part number for before and after the 09/11 models so either part number will...

says for 50mm lowered suspension, unsure if thats FE2 or if 50mm is lower

They are a bit cheaper than the monroe ones and KYB seem to be compatible across all year models also, unsure why monroe have so many part numbers for every model, unsure what the better ones are but them KYB ones would probably be about $50 cheaper using the code there

so there was no change in how the suspension was put together between the years of the ve's and both the part numbers will actually look the same and have the same fitting on each end unlike the pictures across different websites show?

the KYB part finder site has the same part numbers for every year model wagon and ute. just sedan is different. so confusing

so many websites say the 35-0823's are compatible its stupid, all but the actual makers of the part. the store i ordered them off probably wont even know or be able to tell me when i ring up

ill take the wheel off tomorrow and see if i can get a better look, looking throw the wheels they don't look very visible but see how i go, pretty sure the ones i will need will only have one end with the eyelet mounting part. all different pictures on websites don't help exactly.. seeing how...

the ones what are in there now probably wont be monroe ones, the guy doing the job just works from home and think he said the ones holden put in aren't even gas and are **** so will be a different brand and part number??

Guessing i should probably listen to the monroe website who actually make the part and they say 35-0773 which is not the part i ordered so i guess i will most likely have to call up first thing monday before they ship the wrong ones, bit stupid that most of the stockists of the parts say the...

Yeah there were different pictures on almost every website so im not sure what is what. putting in each part number shows the suitable models to use them here they are 35-0823...

Ok that's weird then since both shocks look like they would fit quite differently having different ends, Monroe website for VFs has completely different part numbers for shocks so if they all are the same and fit eachother it should say that somewhere.

Tried looking under my car then but can't see much And I don't know alot about cars I'm getting someone else to install them. Can you tell by this picture? The automotive superstore just has the same picture for all their different models and no vehicle compatibility information for the one I...

Ok thanks, so clearly the models before 09/11 and after are quite different then? bought them off automotive superstore which i have used before, says that they would fit all VE models pretty much under the compatibility but they must be wrong, so ring them up first thing monday and if mine is...

Hey all, have just bought some new rear shocks online for my 2011 VE Series 2 SS Ute with FE2 suspension and bought some Monroe 35-0823's as thats what the website came up with when i entered my vehicle details. however after buying these i had a look on the monroe website and says the 0823's...

Ok so I ended up just buying the brand new 2.92 one from holmart as I felt it was a decent price and 12 months part warranty. Not interested in changing ratios and tunes at this stage so I should be able to just walk away now knowing ther will be a brand new one fitted and shouldn't have another...

Hey I'm trying to start a private conversation but it's coming up with an error and not allowing me to. Was gonna say I think I'm working in the area again tomorrow but unsure when I'll be back after tomorrow so was gonna see if you're in the area tomorrow if I decide to go your option? Cheers...

Does sound like a pretty easy option and the cheapest way to get me back driving again, just as I've said in other posts I don't know the difference of Lsd and non lsd and if it's gonna make much difference to me at all

Yeah I'm thinking the one off holmart seems like a good price at $1600 New and genuine since the mechanic tried telling me 3000. Says the price is dropped from $2380

Looking at eBay there's a shop selling a used one with 91000kms on it for $540 but I guess that's risky considering my cars only done 95k and look what's happened

Thanks I might have to ring up any diff specialists near where I live or in Geelong where I work mostly and see what they could do I'm guessing it would still be costly but worth a try. The non LSD one offered on here could be a good option I just don't know the mechanics behind LSD and non lsd...

I do have the savings for upgrades I just don't know that I want to pour all that extra money into it yet as I don't know how long I'll have it for yet or if there's anything else that's gonna need fixing. I definitely won't be going with their option to buy a new one for 3 grand when it's half...

Dunno if I buy the one off holmart and put that in or tow it somewhere closer to home for a reco or to a performance shop and go all out and spend even more but I haven't had the car long enough to know if there's anything else wrong with it yet so thats risky.. Guessing it's gonna lock up and...

Dunno he says not many people in the area like to do them and if I'm gonna keep it for a long time better off getting a new one with warranty and stuff but yeah I dunno what to do.. that's ruined my day big time considering I've had the car a month and I'm already gonna be putting thousands in...

Just called them then to see if they have looked at it and they said they've had it up on the hoist and it's definitely the diff saying it's all black and are metal bits in the oil and it's stuffed so that's worst case and not what I wanted to hear... he said he priced up a brand new 2.92 Lsd...

Thanks appreciate the offer still haven't heard from the mechanic, would a non lsd be what came stock in the ve ss utes would you know? I don't know all the differences and what it all means the. The 2.92 on holmart for $1600 says LSD. Unsure what's on the Ute now...

Haven't heard from the mechanic yet so I'm not too sure, when they heard the sound they seemed to think drive shaft or diff but can't say for sure without looking i guess, when I rang my mechanic and explained it they said could be a tail shaft too if not the other options are a seized up wheel...

Ok thanks I still haven't had a call from the mechanic what the issue is yet so guess they haven't looked at it yet. Fingers are still crossed it's not the diff but it's a good chance it is so not looking forward to their call. Was happy to keep the Ute stock for a while since I've only just...

Ok thanks so you're suggesting if It has 2.92 Then going for the 3.27 is better but probably an extra $2500 with the difference on parts price and a tune? I really really hope it's not the diff I haven't even driven the car 1000kms yet since I bought it, hoping the last owner didn't know...

Also i should add the car is stuck in bacchus marsh where i was working today and i do not live there so im unsure of any diff specialists around that area, i left it there hoping they fix it instead of towing it home 40 mins away

Ok was hoping they were a little cheaper than that so fingers crossed its not the issue, just got this post up to find out the best way to go about it so i know what to tell the mechanic when they most likely ring me up tomorrow with the problem they have found, its a V8 Auto thanks

Hey all so i've only had my 2011 SS Ute for about a month now and this morning when i was driving to work i was hearing the car making LOUD clunking/banging noises coming from the rear when going around round abouts and turning and feeling like the whole back right wheel was moving and something...

Alright sounds good, hopefully it's a simple fix for you. I tried to send a private message but couldn't see how to do that if you let me know a good time and where I'm going, cheers

Alright could be worth a shot, I would be free this Saturday if it suited you to have a look over it otherwise could wait for another weekend? Thanks

Hey mate I was quoted by Geelong performance centre $220 to turn it back on and that's without them looking at it so could be a 5 minute job for them who knows, am I better off bringing it out to you before I do that? If it's a matter of reactivating it are you likely to be able to do that or...

Yeah haven't seen mine drop under 7.5 or something so mustn't be working

Yeah it's turned on to show the mode on the cluster, with cruise set on a flat road it seems to sit between 8l-10l/100km instant fuel not sure if that sounds right or not with afm off. A very slight hill and it will go up to maybe 13l.

Alright sounds good thanks, should be able to sort out one weekend and fingers crossed that it's something simple

Alright, do you run your own shop in sunbury or something do you? If I was to bring it in would probably have to be a weekend, if it's a tuning/computer problem is that something you're able to fix also? Thanks
