Make sure the tag matchs the strut. And Holden did not stuff up tags,They had to have too many checks on them to match the production broadcast sheet as they went down the line. Question,How may have there production sheet for their car?Adelaide plant almost every sheet was placed in the car.Found ours on the strip down.

Not very impressed and it also gives us a bad rep. I also recall seeing it in the panelbeaters from time to time.
