Second Generation RL (2005) | Forum profile

Beware the " certified " vehicle. I actually busted the dealer I bought my RL from for not actually inspecting anything that they claimed to have. I had a reverse light out and the calipers needed to be replaced. Then when they finally completed " certification " the wheels were unbalanced and the car pulled significantly to the left.

I have ordered the factory manual to see exactly how they are meant to fit onto the door-see what needs to be done to fix them.
