FE2 Rear shock absorbers, early and late model VE's different?

[Danc91]

Yes.

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 probably fit anyway and the ones i ordered were the cheaper anyway, unsure what benefit i would get by ordering the part number for the models earlier than 09/11....

All I can make out is that date is roughly when the series 2 was introduced. Still the same set up.

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

They don't mention FE2

It's literly in the title.

Plus I've already installed the same on the front.

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??

Holden struts are gas filled....The real early ones were oil filled, but can't remember when the changeover occurred

Probably because Monroe are American made compare to Japan, wages and cost of making them. Get what you want.

Strange....There is a Monroe manufacturing plant in Tonsley Park S.A

The way I go about it is, get on the phone and order or at least obtain part numbers.

From what I have seen on the internet, pictures put up seem only to be for display purposes....ie, a picture showing it is a certain part, not necessarily the correct part for your application.

Yes, it might be me being an old bastard, but it saves a lot of headaches ordering incorrect parts over the internet and having to return them and have your car off the road for longer than absolutely necessary, because of things like this
