    Me and a mate of mine are going to have a crack at replacing the shockies in my VZ commodore lumina. Would anyone know of any websites with some good 'how to' information?

    Cheers

    depending on if your doing front (strut) or rear (shock), front can be done like what was posted in that like the only differance is the sway bar link pins pivot by ball joint and not rubbers as shown,

    if you do rear, when you look at the top of the shock you will see that it is mounted to a black metal plate, unbolt the plate, and swap from old to new out of car, bottom mount is pretty self explanitory, if you want to do spring in the rear when you unbolt the shock you should theortically nearly just pull the spring out
