White92Cutlass Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Anyone know if the driver's side wheel cradle from a 1991 Cutlass Supreme Convertible is the same as one in a 1993 Cutlass Supreme Convertible? Some of the exterior body panels of the cars are different, but I'm hoping that the frame is the same. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jman093 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 wheel cradle? x2. That's a new one on me. The suspension of both cars would be the same though, so whatever it is you can probably swap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White92Cutlass Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Car pulls slightly to the left. Went to have car aligned and the mechanic said it can't be aligned correctly because it has a bad wheel cradle on the driver's side. They said I would have to have a body shop replace it. I called a body shop and they they can do it, but they want big bucks to do it. The part may be called something else- I'm just going by what the mechanic and body shop called it.

BXX Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 scan the alignment printout showing the measurements and I'll tell you how to correct it. The alignment tech who worked on your car is prolly an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wheel bearing? Engine cradle? Control arm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 doubt it. He prolly just needs a simple cradle shift to bring camber and caster into spec. The cradle has movement on the bushings and with old bushings once good pothole and wham, it shits and you end up with a camber and/or caster pull. of course this is assuming he doesn't have bent parts, which will show up with a serperation or around 1.5 degrees (roughly the amount that will fuck up scrub radius and cause a pull and stability issues on our cars) of SAI/Include Angle.

White92Cutlass Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Car had slid into a ditch on the driver's side. The driver's side tire rubs the inner fenderwell sometimes when turning to the right while backing up. I took it to two different alignment shops and neither could align it right. One of the shops tried to align it two different times. Edited January 12, 2011 by White92Cutlass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
