This probably is the fault of your REAR KNUCKLES..... The bushings wear out.... The knuckle is replaced as an assembly, you cant replace the bushings...

See this link, I am trying to get a major suspension part company to produce bushings for the knuckle:

Mike, do you know how many different vehicles use this knuckle (Aurora, Buick) it may help your case. Hope you have luck I'm pretty sure mine are wiped out and would love a cheaper alt.

PS best of luck with the new job

Hey thanks Joe, I appreciate it! Ill bet that if I get a part number I can do a reverse lookup somehow, Ill bet that the firm I am talking to knows how to do that, I will contact them this week to see if they still have interest.

Ranger turned me on to this thread last week, check it out, seems that a few of us are researching this:

Unfortunately, I think we're lone rangers on this. The Aurora is on the G platform (as well as the Buick Riviera) and no other vehicle that I know of uses the same rear suspension as the Cadillac E/K cars. If this were a 98+ Seville or a 00+ DeVille, it might be the same as another G car, but I wouldn't know for sure. Unfortunately in this case, I think it's really a Cadillac-only part (which is probably why it's hard to get a replacement/reproduction done).
