#1 of 8 Cadillac Deville: Suspension System by hustla_365 Feb 28, 2008 (10:28 am)
I have a 1996 cadillac deville, and for the past month I've been hearing a squeaking noise coming from the rear tire. I pushed on my trunk and it made the noise again. Also, my service ride control light comes on every now and then. Is this because I need to replace my shocks or struts? Can anyone help me, this is the most annoying sound ever lol Replies to this message: bolivar (Feb 28, 2008 11:08 pm)

Replying to: hustla_365 (Feb 28, 2008 10:28 am) The noise - there are swaybar 'links' back there which may be bad. Or the cushions for the swaybar. These aren't overly expensive to replace. If you have the type struts with the electronic inside, and these need replaced, this is expensive. Each strut is about $750. There are some aftermarket struct available, without electronics. You might just have a bad connection on the strut wiring which is setting the error status, but at the age of you car, the structs probably need replacing.

Car sits low in the rear, do I need shocks or not if I do what kind do I need and if the answer is no, what do I need? Also, car backfires, what causes that and what can I do to stop that horrible noise. Car is also losing horsepower when this happens.
