When To Get 2013 Cadillac ATS Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2013 Cadillac ATS, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your ATS feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2013 Cadillac ATS in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your ATS steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac ATS Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 Cadillac ATS suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 Cadillac ATS’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Cadillac ATS shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your ATS’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2013 ATS Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Cadillac's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Cadillac ATS? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Cadillac intended.
  • When should I have my Cadillac ATS power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your ATS is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Cadillac ATS bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my ATS to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your ATS combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Cadillac ATS are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your ATS feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your ATS travels over minor bumps.
