    I just found out that there was a recall on my Delta cradle bolts and retainers. I need to find an Oldsmobile dealership so that I can have the repair done!!!!!

    Was Sindic in Muskego one of the very last ones? I thought I remember an article when they announced the axing of Olds that Sindic was one of like 14 left in the country that sold just Oldsmobiles.

    I believe so. There was another one at one time in the middle of nowhere on hwy G in the caledonia/racine area back in the 90's I know.

    Up north here we have a very specific word to describe such conditions...

    JUNK

    Sounds like it is bordering on unsafe to drive.
    If the car has a rot hole in it where the cradle bolt goes, the dealer will not perform any repairs on it, liability issue there.

    They have to keep parts available for 10 years, I think. Go to any GM dealer to have it fixed. They will have to order the parts.



    I made this post all by myself with no supervision.

    That's more of a myth, dealers can carry things much longer or shorter, depending on supply and demand. I've heard that before though. Even then the car is 20+ now .

    Finally checked a dealership and they said my car was built after the recall. They then tried to sell me a $500 Ford Escort. I declined, but then they offered me $50 trade in.

    My car is getting welded this weekend.

    My friend and I welded the engine cradle to the frame of my olds.

    On the drivers side, the frame seperated about 2 inches and the passenger side was movable. We used bottle jacks to press the frame back up and then used various pieces of 1/4 inch steel to weld the cradel to any strong part of the frame. It was ugly, so I took pics. I will post them soon.
