I have a 2000 Deville and have been experiencing front suspension problems causing it to ride very rough. There is definitely lots of play in the steering wheel, and the the tires feel as if they're unbalanced. This came about after I had placed brand new 20 inch rims/tires on the car back in April. From there it rode horrible (know 20s make the ride rough) and I had the rims balanced 3 times (Road Force balanced twice) and alignment done 3 times as well. This helped to minimize the issue but I got fed up and put the factory rims and tires back on. Now it rides just as rough and I did the same balance/alignment work-out again on the car. Still no better and this Cadillac is starting to piss me off! I have read through some of the threads on this issue and I figure it could be the wheel bearings or tie rods. I'm not a car expert but this bad boy is getting sent to the dealership ASAP! If anyone has had any similar problems give me a holla. Really want to put my Dubs back on!

In my opinion-ATXBallin2002 i believe that u have really disrupted the factory setting for your frontend, by putting those rims on.but i dont blame you. they look good on these Lacs. now u have to somehow find your way back to original. dont give up man. u will get it right. Cadillacstyle
