Logan Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Looks like there are still a few around.

Göran W Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 @Logan. As far as I can see that´s the same part number as in the link above? Is there any differens L or R? Language may be an issiue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Aftermarket ones almost always can be used on either side. Thats not always the case with OEM ones. Not so much the strut itself but the welded on brackets can be different from side to side. I would double check before having one shipped.

Göran W Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well.... Got confirmation from dealer in US that the partnumber above 19300076 is correct. Total cost was however "no sweet deal". Shipping matches part price and on top there is toll and taxes. All together it will come to around 1.500 USD. May reconsider.

Göran W Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Rockauto = 582USD - 5% = 553. Shippingkost the same (hazardous goods). Toll + VAT ~ 500USD. Total over 1600. (I underestimated the last time) Shipping will be less, if I want to wait a few months, by boat. I don´t want that. Nothing on ebay! Amazon will not ship. Found a used strut in Sweden at ~ 650. I don´t value "new" like 1000....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCadTech Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 @BodybyFisher the strut/shock fluid is a hazardous material, that's why the shipping costs are crazy.

OldCadTech Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 @BodybyFisher here is a brief on it; A magnetorheological damper or magnetorheological shock absorber is a damper filled with magnetorheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually using an electromagnet. This allows the damping characteristics of the shock absorber to be continuously controlled by varying the power of the electromagnet. Fluid viscosity increases within the damper as electromagnet intensity increases. This type of shock absorber has several applications, most notably in semi-active vehicle suspensions which may adapt to road conditions, as they are monitored through sensors in the vehicle THERE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE JOB RIGHT - THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE JOB AGAIN !!!

Göran W Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yes, that fluid (and under preassure) seems to be the problem. I´m very greatful for your offer BBF but I don´t think any of us should take that risk! Even with reduced shipping cost it´s still way over a grand.......

BodybyFisher Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Learn something new everyday. I wouldn't have thought that was hazardous if they are packed correctly. If I recall they are compressed with a high tension strap. But I suppose if they were in a fire they could become dangerous or maybe in flight they could pop from the altitude? I wonder if they are considered hazardous to ship within the US? I can't believe that GM wants to sell cars there but they don't have a provision for selling the parts to avoid this type of problem. There should be dealers there so that this can be avoided.

Göran W Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 While wating for parts i began thinking about the (LF) ABS speed sensor. Integrated in the hub. Does that meen I have to change the hub? The OBD code pops irregularly. Sometimes at start -sometimes after 2 or 100 miles. Hmmm...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCadTech Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Yes, if the wheel speed sensor id bad you have to change the hub. Have you verified it is bad? It is a easy job to do....

BodybyFisher Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I only have a 96 manual, you have a 2002, for an exact spec we need someone with the 02 manual, its located in the ABS/TCS SECTION 5E2 in the 96 manual. I need to get my GMsi going again, it was working terrific and either a windows update or program install messed it up. In the 96 manual it was 900 to 1300 ohms at 25 degrees C (77 degrees F). Check wiring for slits, splits, wear through and check the connector for corrosion that will cause drop outs in sensor signal data.

Göran W Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Thank You BbF. Ohm will only tell if coil is ok? Since this is intermittent I suppose it is possibly a failiure in the hub? I guess You can read Volt when running as well? Any specs on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 It will only tell you about the health of the coil, correct and given this appears very intermittent my gut tells me your test will show its ok. When the wheel is off the ground grab at 9 and 3 o'clock and see if have any play. Bang the tire inside with your fist or a dead blow hammer and listen for looseness. Check all connections for corrosion since its intermittant at the hub, where it connects to main system about 8 inches from hub. Take connector apart and inspect Get on highway with no cars and do S turns like F1 cars do to warm up tires and listen for a groan or moan at 40 to 60. Any moan or groan replace the hub bearing. To test the speed sensor's output you need a tech2 or scope. There may be a way to read real time data through the DIC to observe the sensor pulse data. Ill look at 96 manual. There is a way to see real time data, its actually where the Tech2 gets the RT data from Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Göran W Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think the hub is history. 1. The ABS fault. 2. There is "knock, knock, knock" at low speed when turning (L or R). Can be heard and felt in stearingwheel. 3. Sometimes there is a "drag" (L or R) when turning at speed inspite of the alignment performed last week. I think this may be a wheel bearing? What tools do I need? Any tricks? I´ve seen different versions depending on breaks. How to determ what I need??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Be careful, an axle can do that also, knocking.... My experience is that they don't knock unless really bad, and because your code is intermittant my gut is that its not that bad Look for a split.inner or outer boot on the axle Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
