Firstly, these links have nothing to do with the rear suspension movement you describe. All they do is adjust the Toe, which wouldn't help with the camber problem you describe.

2ndly. Never come across a caster kit for the rear of a Commodore.

3rdly. Ever take the car in for a wheel alignment? Service centres very very rarely do this as part of the service. If so, why not blame the place that did the alignment for not picking up on these?

Enough said I think, as it's going off topic

Please read the manual carefully, as the these manufacturers spent millions of dollars making sure it is perfect.....Now why are there so many problems with my car, when I follow the instructions to the letter?....Answer, majority rules round here


Lock me up and throw away the key because I'm a hoon....I got caught doing 59 in a 60 zone
