You call your local junk yard person ask if they know any company that deal with the type of shock you are looking for. most will look for you. some will not, you mite look under hydrolic lifts for the part or
see if the part has a part###, or manufactures name and state, look up the information on line, the company could of changed it name or under another name.

Rock auto is about the best place to start,
then you can take the part number that you get there and search for them on amazon and or ebay and see if you can find them for less, , many times you cannot,

I have a 2005 Cadillac STS that displays "Speed Limited to 80mph" Code reads "left rear actuator"...what is the fix for this??

most likely cause is that the actuator ( sensor) for the air ride shocks is telling the car that the suspension is wrong fo rhigher speeds. the "fix" would be to return to the original air-ride shocks and correct any other modifications made. with computerized systems you cannot just make arbitrary changes without re-programing the computer to accept them( a very costly "if available" option

05 cadillac sts left brakelight is dim

The globe may be in backwards. Twin filiment globes can sometimes be installed back to front. See when you have your running lights on if that one is brighter than the other, if so it is backwards, Otherwise the globe is probably getting old & blackened & need to be replaced.

Engine light flashing cant go pass 30mph, also car shaking.. 05 sts Cadillac

It sounds to me that you have an extreme engine misfire and the engine control computer has gone into "reduced power mode" (The reason for which can only be determined by proper diagnosis).

If your check engine light is blinking, it is the automotive equivalent of posting in bold, underlined, all caps....

it is SCREAMING at you to get your engine control system checked out because you are in the process of DESTROYING SOME VERY HIGH-DOLLAR PARTS OF YOUR CAR!!! (If you have not already done that.)

Sorry I yelled, But I needed to make the point that the light has apparently been unable to make. Get it checked out and fixed ASAP!

I have a 02 cadillac escalade and the the rear compressor has stoped working a year ago? If im not mistaking its used as the rear leveler that adjust the rear shocks hight to lift or lower it.what kind of...

Only the rear ones should have the air lift feature, although there is a conversion kit that may have been used to add air lift to the front.

The type of shocks you have (front and back) will depend on whether you have the Electronic Suspension system option. Without this, the shocks are pretty standard. However, if you have this, they are all (front and back) controlled electronically to adjust the firmness of the shocks to assist in keeping the vehicle level during maneuvers. You can quickly tell if you have this option by examining one of the shocks to see if there is an electrical connection on the side. If you have this system, these can be very expensive and hard to find, and GM has had a lot of trouble with them. As a result, many owners have replaced them with standard aftermarket struts (which includes air lift versions for the back). However, the old shock electrical cables have to be specially terminated if you do this (see The Cadillac User Forum for more info).

My 1998 cady sts is really high in the back looks like it is lifted.... why?

The vent solenoid is stuck closed on the ELC unit (electronic level control). You can replace the vent valve but it is mounted to the ELC unit witch is attached to the rear axle assembly on the top of axle assembly above the right muffler. To temporary level car, disconnect the compressor electrically then disconnect the air line on one of the rear shocks, let air out till car is level put air line back on shock. Thank you

I have a 2003 STS with only 63000 miles and my rear shocks are worn out--is this normal?

If your car has automatic rear air leveling system, no this is not normal, but if you have regular shock's, life time is about 70,000.
