JJLee2009 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Took my 2001 DHS in today and got the plenum boot replaced (Thanks to those of you who helped me to identify that was the problem). They did a check on various parts of the car and came up with the following: Both front hubs loose ($1300!?) Left front sway bar end link missing ($90) Steering wheel position sensor ($465 - causes service stability system message) I am really wondering how it would be $1300 for the front hubs. Also, I am wondering what issues these problems might cause. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 $1300.00 for front wheel bearings is a robbery! Not sure what the diagnosos was to determine bad bearings. Are the wheels loose or is there vibration? Not sure what type of sway bar end link your car has but according to Rockauto.com, it has the traditional type like a RWD car would use. That's strange since the FWD cars use a style that has ball studs and mounts to the strut tower. Then again, I've not been under my '05 Deville yet to take a look... Anyway, the part is less than $10.00 from Rockauto.com Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 What a joke, you can buy the hubs for about $100 a piece, $1300 is a crazy price, the R&R job is pretty easy 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...

If I do end up fixing this I guess i'm gonna do it myself because $1300 is just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
