    Thanks. A Cadillac parts and accessories place in N.J. advertises a whole package with sway bar, links, brackets, nuts and bolts for $240....is that good being it's the whole kit. Will Cadillac install for an hour's labor ? Or Chevy dealer used to Corvette ? Does it ride harder or just less...

    I understand, just thought I wasn't overpaying... asking was $ 22K and paying 20K. Also, the 20" wheels were probably expensive and are in excellent condition even though I wouldn't have put them on. The owner's manual is in the glove box. Just was asking if the fobs were not working, do the...

    Thanks Gary. From the prices I saw on eBay, I thought this was low though. If a fob fails , you can't start or get in the car. I saw two keys attached to the one gob ? What does the key going in the rear bumper do ? Brad

    Thanks Gary. Did you mean the price is high ? Order the fob from the Caddy dealer ? I do have excellent towing service through my Gold Wing club.

    P.S. If I buy, I'll also try to find and buy the hub centric rings...I still think that will help... can't have the wheel on perfect with a larger hub opening in the wheel in my opinion. Especially the way the tire place throws it on and tightens.

    I'm going to drive it one final time tomorrow being the fourth wheel was balanced. They say it still has the slight vibration and that to get rid of it, I'll need to eventually buy new tires and/or wheels. Ill take it out on the highway because it vibrated at 50 but I couldn't go above on that...

    I know, that's what I think might be causing the slight vibration.... especially if the tire place wasn't careful in tightening the lugs with patience, staggering Wich one you tighten and tighten them uniformly, not just one at a time as they do with the air wrenches. Also, the Toyo 20" tires...

    Also , the aftermarket wheels sometimes don't have the exact same opening to fit tight on the hub so tightening lug nuts in staggered order and patiently tightening in increments is important to have wheel perfectly centered and avoid possible vibration.

    Absolutely, I agree but the car has only these 20" aftermarket wheels with low profile tires. Even worse , I called Toyo Tires today and they do not make tun flats so these aren't. Obviously, I'd have to buy 20" runflats or 18" original size aftermarket wheels and run flats.

    The dealers only said that these low profile tires and aluminum after market wheels get bent from potholes....my tire place agreed and said they see it every day. Just spoke to the dealer that I'm buying from and says the fourth wheel was now balanced but same vibration. Blames it on tires/rims...

    Thanks Charles. Yes , I know from all my cars in the past about the wheel balance, etc. This is not the front balance because the steering wheel is fine. To me, it's either a tire or rear wheel balance. The Cadillac dealer that inspected it found only one bad key fob and slight seepage around...

    Also the car has to be kept outside here in N.Y. No more garage space and plan to use it regularly for short distances....every time I want to take out a fun car, it takes too long to get to so I take out a bike. This was to be easily accessible and a convertible yet the hardtop for being...
