93LE Cadillac 4x4
So for a long time now, the 93LE has had a pretty bad squeak in the front suspension. After some testing, I was pretty sure it was coming from a front passenger side control arm bushing. I have a spare set of front control arms, along with new bushings for them, so I had been slowly working on pushing out the old bushings and pushing in the new ones (read 1 or 2 every 6 months when I thought about it). I was in no hurry, as I didn't want to do the full control arm swap and alignment until I got my 92 back on the road...

I still have the assembled stock shock/spring assemblies from my 96M parts car, so I threw them on. It raised the car about 2 inches, eliminated the squeaks, and gave the car a Cadillac smooth ride when compared to the R-pack suspension. I will eventually send the bilsteins off for a rebuild (and possibly revalve them a little softer), but for now we are enjoying the soft ride of the 93LE 4x4.

Nice... given that mine have 170k miles on them and pointy board peeps have posted revalve specs for softening the ride, I think I will just send them off to Bilstein.Originally Posted by POS Racing
What do they charge these days? I think the rears on the POSIV have seen better days.....
