Introduction to the Holden Commodore

The Holden Commodores discussed in this book are available in four door sedan, wagon and utility body styles. While they are available with four cylinder and V-8 engines, only the 2.8L and 3.3L inline six cylinder models are covered in this manual.

All years use conventional front-engine, rear wheel drive configurations. Earlier models are equipped with carburettors, later models have fuel injection systems. A four or five-speed manual transmission or a three-speed automatic transmission drives the conventional solid rear axle. The front end has independent suspension with MacPherson struts. The rear uses coil springs, a Panhard bar and trailing arms. Rack and pinion steering is used, either manual or with power assist. Disc brakes are used on the front. Rear brakes can be either drum or disc.
