2001 DEVILLE MOAN IN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS, REAR SHOCK ADVISE HELP, AND VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS
HEY GUYS IM A 23 YEAR OLD BEGINNER TECHNICIAN (2-3YRS) AND HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY SECOND DEVILLE. AT ABOUT 60+ MPH I GOT A SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE STERRING WHEEL. I BALANCED THE TIRES, AND SWEAR I HAVE INSPECTED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING SUSPENSION WISE AND ITS ALL TIGHT (I HOPE). STILL THE SAME VIBRATION. ANOTHER THING IS WHEN MAKING A SLOW MANUVER IT SOMETIMES GIVES ME A WHINE OR GROAN IN THE STERRING WHEEL. AND THE LAST THING IS THAT A LOUD NOISE IS COMMING FROM THE REAR WICH IN FACT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE THE RR SHOCK ( IM PRETTY SURE). I READ THAT THE UPPER SHOCK MOUNT IS NOT SERVICABLE. IS THIS TRUE? ANY HELP FROM A MOD OR A CADILLAC TECH ON HERE WOULD HELP ME ALOT. THANKS GUYS, IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT ALL OF MY PROBLEMS.
ALSO IS THERE ANY WHERE TO BUY THE REAR SHOCKS WITHOUT PAYING DEALER PRICE ($204). IS A USED SHOCK A GOOD SUGGESTION?

If I'm stating the obvious stop me, but isn't that axle whine? And, cadillac wheels are notoriously difficult to balance to tires, from what I've heard.

what you describe sounds weird to me. some of it sounds like the PS, some of sounds like the axle,
some sounds like suspension issues .. i wouldnt know where to start. for all i know it si a slipping belt or
pulley somewhere. dont know .....
