Does Your 1989 Cadillac Brougham Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1989 Cadillac Brougham, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Brougham feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1989 Cadillac Brougham, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Brougham’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.

Cadillac Brougham Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Cadillac Brougham suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1989 Cadillac Brougham’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Cadillac Brougham shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Cadillac Brougham’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1989 Brougham Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Cadillac Brougham? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Cadillac intended.
  • Does my Cadillac Brougham power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Cadillac Brougham bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Brougham to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Brougham front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Brougham 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 Brougham are bad? If your Brougham 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 Brougham might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
