Last time I needed grease caps, I went to a trailer/caravan parts supplier - perfect fit but for different car.

snow run weekend and the caddy was making a noise !!! kinda a rattle clunck,,, rattle clunck !! and i knew as soon as i herd it !! as it happend once before !!! on the passengerside.... this time it was drivers side...

now remember i did not build this car !!! 

i pulled the hub cap and there sitting inside was the grease cap... a brand new ... 52mm one !!!! grrs it was never going to fit as this car needs the 57mm or 2.245inch cap !! justA before i bought the car ... a very high profile hot rod shop, had invoiced (bob) the prevous owner for doing new wheel bearings !!! 

i was surprised that it sat on there as long as it has done !!..

sooooooo, thats why i am hunting new ones.

Mazzas only one close was a 2 3/32.  $6.99 but thats too small. Was going to try a trailor shop, but I got busy.  Will check for the Caddy if I get a chance tomorrow.

All the grease caps I'm find with that diameter here da' US of A are from trailer parts suppliers. Nothing from an online car catalog.

Orielly go to.  Think you need to remeasure.  Check this link. You can make your own account.  Use my zip code after you make your account to search parts. (48346)  If they can't be shipped, I could pick up and ship for you.
