#69 of 82 My Diamante feels like it's swerving on left turns by mdc4 Nov 29, 2008 (8:23 pm)
I've not noticed this in the past but recently each time I'm driving on a fairly curvy highway, my Diamante feels like it's going to swerv out of control on tight left hand curves. It never does this on right hand turns at all. I've had the tires rotated but that didn't seem to improve anything. Any ideas would sure be appreciated.... Thanks!

Replying to: mdc4 (Nov 29, 2008 8:23 pm) Well you're loading up the right side suspension and it apparently is not happy. So I'd be looking at a blown right side strut/shock, a severe misalignment issue or a worn suspension part such as ball joint, tie rod, etc.

Replying to: mdc4 (Nov 29, 2008 8:23 pm) Actually, I can tell you exactly what it is. It is the rear knuckle-bushings. They are a typical wear part on these cars, and only these cars.. I know, it sucks.. but also know that if you do not repair these you will tear through tires like nobody’s business.. Unfortunately, you have to go to the stealership for repair, or a specific mits guy, otherwise they will mis-diagnose you with, alignment, shocks/struts, bearings, and the like. I think it ran me about $350-$400 (us) and that included an alignment. good-luck. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 30, 2008 6:22 pm)

Replying to: diamoney (Nov 30, 2008 8:44 am) OH YEAH--I didn't think about that. Cadillac owners know all about bad knuckle bushings and the symptoms. (I assume you mean bushing on the A-arms?)   You could be right. If those are worn, they could have those effects.

#74 of 82 2003 Diamante VR-X would not stay running by vidvashi Sep 20, 2009 (4:23 pm)
I parked my 2003 Diamante VR-X in the garage for a week and went to start yesterday but was unsuccessful. I thought the battery had drained (or died) but that was unlikely because I had just put in a new battery 2 weeks back. I jump started the car and the lights came on. The car started. When I disconnected the jumper cables the car made funny sound - like it was struggling to stay running - and stopped running almost immediately. Has anyone out there had similar experience. Can someone help me with what the problem could be? Thanks.
#75 of 82 Crankshaft positioning sensor by doiturself Sep 27, 2009 (10:01 am)
Code came up on my 99 diamante. Took off the timing belt covers and noticed that it seems ( according to the length of the wires on the new one ) that it seems to go into the block about an inch and a half. maybe im not seeing it right, but have tried to replace it a couple of times and cant seem to figure it out. Maybe someone out there has done it before and can give me a hint. Please dont tell me the crank has to come out! lol Also looking for a helping hand on ditailed info on how to replace timing belt. doiturself
#76 of 82 Re: rear brake rotor [zasranec] by doiturself Oct 03, 2009 (12:07 pm)
Replying to: zasranec (Oct 17, 2007 5:38 pm) Ive got a 99 and when I went to change out the rear rotors they wouldnt budge. Maybe you will laugh when u hear this..... but on mine there were two extra holes in the area where the rotor slips on to the housing on oppisite sides of each other. Got a hair up my butt and treated it as though it was a steering wheel. I put two bolts that would fit into the threads and tightened them EQUALLY so it forcably pulled the rotor off the housing. I beat on the rotor for half an hour before trying this and it wouldnt budge. Dont know first hand if yours has the same extra holes in them but its worth a try instead of damaging something

Replying to: bill208 (Aug 27, 2008 2:10 pm) there are four o2 sensors... 2 in the front of the engine, one before and after the cat.
