    Let's talk trolley jacks

    I'm sick of the small trolley jack I have trying to pump it under the SS cross member. It's too short, takes ages and is the worst part about working on the car. What recommendations does everyone have for a relatively inexpensive long chassis twin-action jack? Be great if there's something...

    Radius Arm Replacement - torque bolt in driving position?

    Was advised my radius arms need replacing (after an absolute kick arse alignment at TruTrac North Melbourne). The instructions for the Whiteline arms (I think, could have Ben somehwhere else) state the chassis bolt need to be torqued with the car on the ground in driving position. Is this...

    Harmonic balancer - without locking the flywheel

    Hi all, just wanted to share how I did the balancer without locking the flywheel. I did not feel like buying a flywheel lock and dropping the extractors to take the starter motor out. Get a long chain wrench, I got this Chinese special off eBay for about 25 bucks. The top tensioner and...

    Another harmonic balancer question

    I'm gearing up to do a balancer on my SS. Ordered the ARP bolt and Powerbond balancer. My question is, instead of removing the starter motor and locking the flywheel (I've got DiFilippo extractors, starter might be difficult to access), can I use either a chain/strap wrench or pulley holder...

    KYB shocks part number confusion

    There seems to be two possible offerings for KYB shocks for VE. I've got an SSV Redline wagon (standard FE2). 339153, 339154 as front shock OE replacement and 834003, 834004 "suitable for up to 50mm lower and FE2 suspension" also as front OE replacement, which seems like the right one. For the...

    Weird sound in engine bay - V8

    Hello all. This weird sound is coming from the engine. At first I thought a belt is slipping or a pulley is toast but I'm not so sure. The video says it all. Hit the link below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/us3kxe5073qbqho/PXL_20210308_034806175.LS.mp4?dl=0 EDIT: Squirting some water on the belts...

    2010 VE Wagon Shocks

    Hello everyone, first post here, but long time reader. Got me out of a jam many times. I need front and rear shocks for my SS Wagon. It's FE2, standard setup, not lowered. I'm confused with the part numbers i need. I'm looking at Monroe because I believe they're the OEM, but their part numbers...
