John Rickett Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Hi There, Obtaining replacement parts in England is difficult and very expensive! So, in the age of the internet, I decided I would shop direct in the USA. Parts would be much more readily available and cheaper. However it isn't an entirely straightforward process. I need some advice and guidance if I'm to do this properly. Where can I obtain original GM part numbers? Is there a website that lists them? Who are the best suppliers of Cadillac parts? I need a supplier who will ship to England (and not rip me off). I want a supplier who will accept payment by Visa or Mastercard. At the moment I am trying to buy: 1. front and rear Wheel Bearings and Hub Assemblies, 2. an Ambient Temperature Sensor. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I will be very grateful.

Scotty Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 You can send an email to www.gmotors.com requesting a parts quote and asking them about payment and shipping options, I have used them here and they are very reliable and their prices are good. In terms of scrap/junk yards you can search this on-line data base it has yards all over the country http://car-part.com/index.htm If you run into problems send me an email and I will try to help you, I had a 4.9 engine shipped to Amsterdam for a Cadillac lover!

Barry94 Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Wheel bearing/Hub units should be available locally, as SKF and other major bearing companies manufacture these. I have a SKF bearing assembly on the left front. Picked it up at a local auto parts store. Half the price of the GM unit. Not sure about the quality, as I have only had it installed for about a year. I figure it can't be much worse than the GM units as they don't seem to last. Barry 2008 STS V82016 Colorado Z711970 Corvette LT-1 Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
