Hi All. I want to put new front struts in my 97 D'elegance this year but have a issue. I have new struts, springs, bellows, bumpers, mounts, and bearings. But I cannot find the rubber at the base of the spring. I want to assemble the new struts so I can just install them in the spring. Anyone have any experience here with this? IIRC I need the upper spring seat and insulator. Believe I have the lowers I may have asked before but am still stuck. Thanks all

I hope I am posting in the right spot. I have a 1997 Eldorado ETC, 108K miles. It had a crack in the radiator upper right side. I replaced the radiator and tstat, but, its still overheating after about 15 miles. I have flushed the block and new radiator, cooling fans work, pass over not plugged. I have run it with and with out tstat. I am at wits end.

Any help or advise is GREATLY appreciated. -

It is smoking from the drivers side of the engine and the bottom left front

Just bought a 97 Deville. Really great car. 42,000 miles, one owner. Clean history, car always serviced by Cadillac. Also have a couple of older Cadillacs. 76 Seville, 78 Eldorado and 87 Coupe Deville. Member of Cadillac Lasalle Club, but I think with the newer car, this might be the place for advice. This car is a different animal. Took me 10 minutes to get the air filter box apart. With the 70’s cars can do it in the dark with my eyes closed. The previous owners said that the car does not keep a charge. After a few days of standing the battery is dead. They tested the battery and alternato
