Active handling started kicking in at inappropriate times. Mechanic eventually found a part associated with the steering wheel position sensor - plastic - that is broken and apparently no longer available.
It is part #63 on the 2003 Front-Suspension-Steering column assembly.
Any help finding a suitable replacement would be appreciated.
Is that the Steering Wheel Positioning Sensor or is that #62? What makes him think this is the part that's bad? What code(s) are you throwing? If it is the SWPS then it shouldn't be discontinued for a 2003 AFAIK.

The part number for the SWPS is 88965543 and they are still available for the 2001-2004 models. Cost about $70. Contact Gene at www.cultragfactoryparts.com to order one.

Thanks... been fooled by that one too... it isn't the sensor, it is the part that (I guess) holds the sensor in place... just in front of the sensor on the stack.
Part #62 in the diagram (original post) is the sensor. I'm looking for part #63.
When we changed mine in my '04 I thought that it was all together as a unit. Been a few years now so I could be wrong. This getting old is not what it is cracked up to be. Damn CRS setting in!!

If you haven't called Gene Culley you should. The parts breakdown shown on the various web sites leaves a lot to be desired as far as parts availability. Gene has helped me several times by getting parts not shown on the web page.
Not sure in what way it is broken or how that will cause the AH to kick in randomly. I have found the sensor itself... although my mechanic says it tests our fine.
Can't see where a dust shield would cause the problem. Pull your codes on the DIC and I bet you will get C1287 and/or C1288. Takes awhile for them to set sometimes. My '04 did the same thing and it took about two weeks for the codes to show up. Really gets your attention when the car pulls to the side at speed.
Ran into this issue with a friends car. The steering wheel positioning sensor was used on a number of Cadillac models during the same years of production. Do a google search on the part number and you get a list of models and years

Not completely understanding it either... I haven't held the parts in my own hand so I'm relying on my mechanic... who I pretty much trust. We talked yesterday and he will replace the whole assembly but can't get the one part from GM. Marc says he can get them, so I'll get it all finished at once.

Got your order and shipping out tomorrow. We will email you your tracking #.
