i think what he is saying is that if one is bad the others are probably close as well. my opinion is that shocks can deteriorate over time. they dont always fail catastrophically. it can be a slow deterioration, you only really notice once they are really bad. but if you did replace all 4 you...

check the headlights for damage, and all bulbs working properly. internal lenses sometimes yellow/ burn on older years. i dont think 06 was effected, but headlights are hard to find and expensive to replace. check the front lower skid bars and valance, if the bars are cracked or damaged, most...

sooo, that 220 wear rated run flat, if its of the same type i saw on tirerack, will last 12k to 18k miles, for you that will be many years:) for $100 ? that is a great price, for such a price i would go that route as well. you are correct you cannot use the 235/45 tire on the rears wheels but...

you could switch the rears to non run flat now, and when those front pirellis wear out in a year, switch them to match the rears, in size and brand/model

tirerack has a bunch of non run flats from hankooks in the $175 price range conti extreme DWS $213 pirelli etc the price savings is huge over the run flats. huge selection. huge performance gain over run flats too. i personally have no problem switching to non run flats. this is not my daily...

you only just did this in january? so the front tires are like new... i would replace all 4 tires with the same size 255/40-19. based on this thread. https://www.xlr-net.com/forums/cadillac-xlr-v/6634-xlr-v-front-tire-size-change.html?highlight=tire+size so you can rotate , and easier to find...

MRS i have to agree , those wheels arent my favorite. but they are 20's and look pretty expensive, might be able to sell them for a nice price. when you ordered the new wheels / tires, did you get staggered tire size or same size for all 4 wheels? i think you can go with same size for all 4 (the...

haha ZEN i didnt think of that, luckily around here it wouldnt happen (i hope!) once i replace my tires i will keep the two best old tires as emergency spares. then i wont have to leave the car for more than 1/2 a day anywhere. my other cars, i have spare tires for all of them in the basement:)

janet AND michael ??!!:party " who's bad?! " " really really bad!? "

i would be alot more worried about the battery condition than a possible flat tire on the ride home. i have decided not to worry about tires. if i get a flat i am just going to park it and call a taxi !! can get a tire in a few days pull the wheel and get the tire mounted. then reinstall. also...

when you repaint you can remove the XM wart on the trunklid !! what color you thinking of ?

those lights were pulled off and put int the trunk by someone who knows their street value;) luckily they were preserved for the next owner(you!!) the front skid bar breaking and taking the radiator with it , is a common repair for these vehicles. if the impact was only that mild then hopefully...

i bet he means silver. this could be it !! Cadillac XLR-V - 7 July 2010 - Autogespot

i would replace the battery in the fob anyway, make sure the new battery has good voltage. then try to lock / unlock the car with the fob, make sure the windows are down so you can reach the emergency door latch inside! does it lock unlock ??? another good sign your fob is good. then place the...

thats a sweet deal ! congrats on the purchase. i am guessing you are on the younger side from your other post ? good to see a new generation taking an interest in the XLR :thumbsup very exotic car for not much money.

some guys went the custom route, aka cut off the mufflers and weld in a straight pipe. old skool loud and not expensive! and a few other variations on that theme... https://www.xlr-net.com/forums/cadillac-xlr-and-xlr-v-mods/8403-mufflers.html?highlight=custom+exhaust

crimson's terminals are the opposite of mine. i think 06 and up are considered "reversed" terminals thus the 34R the oem battery tray was supposedly a smidge too big for the odyssey battery. when i installed mine, it would have been fine in the original battery tray. so actually no modification...

lt looks like this outfit has them in stock for $218 with free shipping, or you can pick up in houston ...

you need a battey maintainer if the car is going to sit most of the time. i like the odyssey, yes its stupid expensive, but the extra CCA (850 vs 600) makes me feel better. mine is an 07 the positive terminal is closer to the engine, that makes it a 34R PC1500 make sure yours is the same before...
