![]() Why would a stationary bar be installed if the customer would not be able to get their wheels properly aligned? this recall repair seem to have increased the safety and reliability of this vehicle further. At this time Cadillac is only agreeing to inspecting the installation of the recall repair however this does not resolve the safety concerns with this vehicle. They said Cadillac solve this problem immediately. I contacted hunter machine alignment and they confirmed our concerns. The value even with the toe bar should be +0. Last week we had big o run an expressalign report and the rear tires have severe negative values. Just over one year later (approx 15k miles driven) we have significant wear on our inner tires. We went back to the Cadillac dealership days later but were assured the alignment was fine. 2 months later we installed new tires at big o tires but they were unable to perform a rear alignment due to the stationary toe bar. I am taking my car to a private shop for a HONEST evaluation.In Nov 2021 we had the recommended recall repairs done at a Cadillac dealership which replaced the rear toe links with a non-adjustable bar. The estimates for the remaining repairs are now approaching 11k. I have since started experiencing other issue unrelated in theory to the recall but suspiciously they all started happening after they serviced my car. Reasoning was that these parts were ‘worn out’ so when the ‘new’ toe link was installed it brought the worn out parts to the forefront and they are failing. Also 2 front control arm bushings and a new alignment. They said that I now need 2 rear upper control arms and outer bushings. Of course, my car was riding and performing perfectly prior to the Toe link replacement. Was told by GM dealer that it was the first time that anyone had an issue after the new toe link was installed. Basically the rear is ‘loose’ when I am going around curves as well as braking while in a curve. We also invite you to join the latest discussions in our Cadillac forums.
