Does Your 1987 Cadillac Brougham Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1987 Cadillac Brougham, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Brougham bounces, pulls 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 1987 Cadillac Brougham 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Cadillac Brougham’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Cadillac Brougham Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1987 Cadillac Brougham’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Brougham’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Cadillac Brougham shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Brougham’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1987 Brougham 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Why should my Cadillac Brougham get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Cadillac Brougham power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Brougham’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Cadillac Brougham to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac Brougham might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Brougham's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Brougham 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 Brougham need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Brougham feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Brougham travels over minor bumps.
