    Not even the Monroe catalogue can tell me, so i hope someone here knows !!

    Interested in the Rear shocks in particular. I Have a spare set of rears, and a mate wants them for his wagon ...

    The rear springs are different (ute and wagon are the same) - not sure about the shocks though. Best bet could be to compare part numbers via a part store.

    Same up front, different rear.

    The front half of all variants is basically identical, but the rear is most certainly different.
    If in doubt check out the pedders website and look at their online catelogue. Same part numbers for the front for shocks and springs, but rear are different.
    Looks like utes and wagons have interchangeable parts, but sedan is unique (as already mentioned).

    Well Holy Sheet ! If what you say is correct i'm stunned, as it was confirmed by someone actually working in the design off at HOLDEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Going to check pedders, have a close look at a wagon, and put a lot of **** on the person who told me that if they are wrong.
