How to find the right part suitable for your specific Holden Colorado RC and RG
Engine
Start with what's under the bonnet. Parts suitable for the Holden Colorado RC centre on the 4JJ1 3.0 litre four-cylinder turbo diesel, built from 2008, while cooling and service parts suitable for the Holden Colorado RC with the 2.4 litre four-cylinder or 3.6 litre V6 petrol engines differ again. Parts suitable for the Holden Colorado RG, from 2012, split between the 2.5 litre and 2.8 litre Duramax turbo diesels, and filters, belts, hoses and fan clutches change with them.
Body type
Most of this range is for the Ute, in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Parts suitable for the Colorado 7 wagon can differ, particularly at the rear, and rear drum sizes differ between two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles, so the drive type is worth knowing before you order brake parts.
Mid-run changes
The RG changed part way through its run. Front CV and axle assemblies suitable for the Holden Colorado RG switch from a circlip type on earlier vehicles to a nut type on later ones, and tie rod ends and front wheel bearing hubs changed around the same time. Each listing gives the build dates it covers, so match them against the build plate on your vehicle.
Lifted vehicles
Lifting the front end puts the CV joints on a steeper angle, which is why diff drop kits, front strut spacers and shorter CV and axle assemblies suitable for the Holden Colorado RG exist. Some suspension parts are made for standard ride height and some for a lift, so check which one a listing covers.
