Holden may be discontinued, but your Commodore still deserves reliable support.
The VFII Commodore marked the end of locally built Holden production in Adelaide, yet VE, VF and VFII Commodores remain an important part of South Australian roads. With the Holden brand retired, many owners understandably have concerns about ongoing servicing, repairs and access to quality replacement parts. At Auto Point Plus, we help Holden Commodore owners keep their vehicles safe, reliable and enjoyable to drive through professional inspections, clear repair advice and suitable-quality parts. This Holden Commodore came to us with a noticeable clunking noise over bumps and uneven roads. After inspecting the suspension, our technicians identified worn stabilizer links—also known as sway bar links or anti-roll bar links. These small but important components connect the stabilizer bar to the suspension, helping manage weight transfer, reduce excessive body roll when cornering and maintain a more stable, controlled ride. Over time, the joints or bushes inside the stabilizer links can wear and develop play, causing a rattle, knock or clunk that is often most noticeable over speed humps, potholes, driveways and rough Adelaide roads.
Not every suspension noise means an immediate stabilizer link replacement is required, as minor wear can sometimes create noise while the component is still operating acceptably. However, a professional inspection is important to check for excessive movement, damaged bushes, loose joints or changes in handling, as these signs indicate replacement may be needed to restore correct suspension operation. A clunk can also come from other suspension components, so replacing parts without proper diagnosis can waste time and money. At Auto Point Plus, we identify the source of the noise first and explain the most suitable repair options before work begins. Although Holden manufacturing has ended, quality replacement parts remain available for many VE, VF and VFII Commodores, including genuine Holden or OEM-equivalent components, reputable aftermarket options and tested recycled parts where suitable. We select the right option based on your vehicle’s condition, intended use, budget and required quality. A Holden Commodore is more than just transport, it is part of Adelaide’s automotive history. Whether you need stabilizer link replacement, suspension diagnosis, brake repairs, cooling-system work, routine servicing or fault finding, Auto Point Plus provides practical support and professional workmanship to help keep your Commodore on the road.
