Now people know what you're on about.


Did they really say that EVERYTHING needs replacing in a 2008 commodore? (Assuming that's the car you're talking about because you didn't specify)
If that's the case, you're getting screwed. :)


edit:

forgot this one.

Umm... what exactly was the noise you were hearing??

Because I'm pretty sure Pedders have simply opened a VE suspension parts catalogue and transfered it's entire contents to your report.

How many KM on your car?

I mean, seriously? A VE needing a new subframe because of stress fractures?

I recon you're being taken for a ride mate. They saw you coming a mile away, someone who is desperate for an answer to a noise.

So yeah, what exactly was the noise?

Lucky your already a boi coz there is one other crack that will be feeling plenty of stress if you believe all that crap :butt:. Sounds to me that they have nfi what is wrong so they have decided to replace **everything**.

no its a 2007 vess-v my original car was 2009 i down graded and bought a lemon thats been flogged within an inch of its life by the sounds,as as for the back sub frame they reckon the way the rear control arms are and the way the bolts have been pulled an twisted its been reversed into something, certainly wasnt what i wanted to hear...its like a squeaking or grinding of metal on metal slowing down speeding up taking off from stand still.. strute bearings collapsed,springs not seating right and general play in all the bushes tells me its been hammered by its previous owner,tailshaft centre bearing causing knocking between gears
