Don't remove the subframe bolts completely otherwise you're going to have a big problem. You just need to lower it half way

Here in Australia, the right side was actually easier with a normal rachet and small normal depth socket...you have the right idea about not clicking the socket all the way into the rachet. I can't see from your photo whether the wheel is off but if it isn't, you should take it off. Then sit...

Maybe easier to remove the exhaust? Have you tried a bending rachet with just the socket attached (not a deep socket) Can you lower the subframe half way to give you more room ?

ITEM: VE steering wheel with silver insert. Suitable for cars with Navigation and Bluetooth. LOCATION: NSW, South-West Syd CONDITION: used but really good condition. PRICE: $120 DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: pick up or courier at cost PAYMENT OPTIONS: ,Direct Deposit, Funds Transfer...

When the car is up, Try using a big bar under the tyre to lift it vertically or hit the tyre from the bottom with a big hammer

As above, there could be another underlying issue or issues that are causing the DTC bring logged. What's the fault code you're receiving? Have you checked live data for fuel trims?

I sold a WM caprice with a LLT (SIDI) engine which had done 310,000kms. It was still going strong except for burning a bit of oil.

Generally speaking, all OBD readers should work with all cars from year 2000. You won't have any issues using the Fixd device on a VE commodore

There are also ball joints on the tie rod ends so they should be checked and whilst you're there, you should check the rack ends too. Also have you checked the engine mounts and transmission mount ?

Try disconnecting the battery for an extended time (like over night) or going for a long drive with various speeds between 20km/h to 80km/h.

Have you checked the obvious...is there fuel in the tank? Can you hear the fuel pump prime when key is turned to the Reds position? Perhaps remove and check the purge valve...if you can blow straight through it it's faulty.

They are listed as rear though...not sure if they make them for the front as they're not listed in their catalogue

This trim code is known as Onyx which I believe should be black

Have you actually tried calling Holden? I'm sure they would have some...I bought some recently

There is but it's a long way away from where it connects to the transmission. Last time the transmission mount caused the leak and this time it was the engine mounts that caused the leak.
