wheel

Has anyone cut and sanded the locating dowel on the wheel bearing hub face (steering knuckle)? I have a spare LHF wheel bearing only but my RHS has failed. Thought either sides were interchangeable. Need it sorted urgently so would want to know whether it’s worthwhile to do. Cheers

Hey i have recently switched from a 4x4 to a VT and i just wanna know what the actual difference is between the 17" / 18 / 19 / 20 rims And whats the best brands for rims and tyres

First off, I've had Google send me here plenty of times for all kinds of questions relating to my cars and I've always found an easy to follow text or video guide showing someone who's not too great with cars like me exactly what I needed to do to fix the problem I was having. Just searching...

So it started around 2-3 months ago when I had come back from work and started driving my car out of the car park. Upon going over a speed bump in the carpark I could hear this clunking noise emitting from the front left wheel arch. For the entirety of the drive home, any mediocre bump would...

Would 20” and 10”wide vertini dynasty rims with 255/35R20 fit on a ve sv6 Ute? What size hub centric rings would you have to use so the center bore of the wheel matches the hub of a ve? And what would be a good offset for the wheel?

Hi everyone, A couple of days ago I bought my first Commodore, a 2007 Calais 3.6 with 116,000 on the clock and I'm pretty stoked with it! Drives beautifully and is such a smooth and powerful beast compared to the '03 Astra 1.8 it replaced. But I've noticed with the Calais a strange noise...

Hi guys, I had the rear brake pads changed in the VS V6 ute and around 3 weeks later the right rear started to squeak (hard to explain, more like a squeak and tap and rattle all in one) no matter what the speed. It goes away when braking and turning right. It's starting to do my head in and I...

Hi guys, You'd think this would be easy but I can't take my wheels off! I've taken off all the nuts and the front wheels won't budge. It's like it's fused or stuck to the hub. I've tried knocking the wheel with a mallet, kicking it but it just won't budge. Anyone on the forum have any tips or...

Hi Guys In light of a recent post and request for info on this.. I thought i would share my method of fixing ( painting ) rusted wheel hubs. The unfortunate thing is that this happens to lots of cars even within a few years of owning a brand new car this can happen. It is a pain in the butt if...

Hi Guys, A while ago I saw a VS with a VY, VZ or even a VE steering wheel in it. I bought a VY steering wheel and headed down to the mechanics. They had a go at putting it on but had to call up both Bursons and Holden to figure out why it wouldn't go on. They both said its not possible...
