Is It Time For 2017 Cadillac ATS Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2017 Cadillac ATS, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your ATS jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 Cadillac ATS in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Cadillac ATS’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac ATS

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Cadillac ATS suspension system. 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 2017 Cadillac ATS shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Cadillac ATS shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Cadillac ATS suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2017 ATS Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Cadillac ATS? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your ATS is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Cadillac ATS bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your ATS to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my ATS's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your ATS 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Cadillac ATS are bad? Worn ATS shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your ATS might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your ATS shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
