2012 Cadillac CTS Parts and Accessories

Sourcing parts for a mid-size car comes down to matching the right generation, and that is where most orders go wrong. Second generation Sigma through 2013 and the Alpha based third generation from 2014 to 2019.

The parts we ship most for the 2012 Cadillac CTS are headlamp assemblies, AC compressors, front wheel bearings, control arm bushings and sway bar end links. Every part listed here is a genuine GM component with the factory part number, not an aftermarket reproduction. On a mid-size car these are the components that carry load and heat, and they are where an aftermarket substitute costs you the job twice.

One thing worth knowing about buying OEM: the part number ties back to GM's own engineering records, so when a component is revised the supersession is documented rather than guessed at. Aftermarket catalogs have no equivalent, which is why a listing that says it fits a range of years is often wrong at the edges.

For 2012 the underlying design was carried over, so the parts that split are the ones tied to options, trim and build date rather than platform. Trim level changes brake sizing, wheel bearings and suspension components on these cars.

Send us your VIN before you order and our parts specialists will confirm the exact part number for your vehicle. Orders placed by 3pm Central usually ship the same business day from our Dallas warehouse, which keeps transit times short across most of the country.
