Does Your 1989 Cadillac Allante Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1989 Cadillac Allante, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Allante jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1989 Cadillac Allante in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Allante suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Cadillac Allante suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac Allante Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1989 Cadillac Allante’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1989 Cadillac Allante’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Cadillac Allante shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Cadillac Allante’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1989 Allante Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Cadillac Allante? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Cadillac Allante power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Allante’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Cadillac Allante bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Allante to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Allante front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Allante when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Cadillac Allante need replacing? Worn Allante shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Allante might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Allante shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
