Just had a pre safety certificate check on a VS I have been give. My sister had it from new. Needs a bit of suspension work. Car has done about 160k all in town. I guess the low usage may have contributed to the degeneration of the bushes. Are the front control arms the same as a VS, as I cannot find any VT for sale. Or am I better off just rebushing. I am thinking of replacing the arms, because of the tie rods ends need doing, so I may as well do the control arm ball joint. Also the strut top is crushed. Is this just the rubber washer on the top? Should have clarified with the mechanic, I guess. Thanks in advance. I am learning a lot about Commodores after 30 years in SAABs. The last being the cousin of the Commodore (1997 990s with GM 2.5LV6.) The VT is replacing the 900 after a incident with a bloody big roo! What is the best m anual. I have a loan of a Haynes, which i would have used as dunny paper when I was a kid.
