Is It Time For 2019 Cadillac ATS Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2019 Cadillac ATS, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your ATS jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2019 Cadillac ATS in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Cadillac ATS’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac ATS

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2019 Cadillac ATS suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2019 Cadillac ATS’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Cadillac ATS shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your ATS’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2019 ATS Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ATS's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 ATS power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your ATS’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Cadillac ATS bouncing excessively? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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? If your ATS shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your ATS might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
