On certain Cadillac limousine, the front lower control arm balljoint to steering knuckle attaching nuts may not have been tightened to specifications. Under certain conditions, this could cause the nut to back off, resulting in separation of the joint. If joint separation were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, it would affect directional control which could result in vehicle crash without prior warning.
