FIG. 5-6: POWER STEERING FLUID GAGE
If at operating temperature (approximately
150°F — hot to the touch), fluid should be
between "HOT" and "COLD" marks. If at
room temperature (approximately 70°F),
fluid should be between "ADD" and
"COLD" marks. Fluid does not require
periodic changing. Fasten cap securely after
checking.
Wheel Bearings
The front wheel bearings (on all except El¬
dorado) and Eldorado rear wheel bearings re¬
quire repackingand adjusting when brake lin¬
ings are replaced or when major service is
performed on that axle. Repack with a #2
grade lithium high melting point wheel bear¬
ing grease.
When bearing replacement is necessary,
Delco NDH parts are recommended.
Brakes
REMINDER: The front disc brakes have a
built-in wear indicator that is designed to
make a high frequency, squealing or cricket¬
like warning sound when the linings are worn
to where replacement is required. The sound
will occur intermittently or continuously
when wheels are rolling, but will disappear
when the brake pedal is applied firmly. See
also the various brake checks listed in the
Cadillac Maintenance Schedule folder.
When replacement parts are required, CM
and Delco parts are recommended.
Use Delco Supreme 11 Super Heavy Duty
Brake Fluid or brake fluids conforming to
DOT-3 specifications.
Suspension-Front and
Rear
All (eleven) front suspension and steering
linkage connections require lubrication
each 6 months or 7,500 miles. Steering lin¬
kage pivots must be replaced when worn or
loose.
The rear suspension system is maintenance
free. However, it is recommended that it be
inspected periodically by an Authorized
Cadillac Dealer to make certain that no acci¬
dental damage has occurred that could affect
its performance.
Battery Care
Battery fluid level should be checked at
every engine oil change. However, in warm
weather, fluid level should be checked at
two-week intervals. Maintain battery fluid
level up to the split ring in each cell.
Use only colorless, odorless drinking
water or distilled water to fill the battery. If
water is added during freezing weather,
