- Fits: 1998-2004 Cadillac Seville
- Position: Front
- Condition: New
A worn front strut can show up as a bouncy ride, nose dive when braking or fluid on the strut body. Before you replace the strut assembly, rule out worn tires, a loose sway-bar link or a worn tie rod end, since those can cause similar ride and steering complaints. Front struts are normally replaced as a pair, and this listing is one assembly.
