THE VXII Commodore upgrade will be remembered for the introduction of the adjustable "Control Link" (pictured above in red) to the semi-trailing arm rear suspension. An additional link-arm was added to either side to control toe (the direction in which the rear wheels are pointed) movement during rear suspension compression and rebound. With better location of the rear wheels throughout their suspension travel, the result is improved handling precision and greater stability. The diameter of front and rear stabiliser bars was also modified - the front increases 1mm, the rear decreases 3mm - to meet with the new suspension parameters. The front suspension continues with MacPherson struts. For customers frequently using gravel roads, Holden offers a Country Pack suspension, which increases the sedan's rear stabiliser bar diameter by 3mm and raises the ride height via increased front and rear spring rates.
