Does Your 1985 Cadillac Cimarron Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1985 Cadillac Cimarron, 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 Cimarron feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1985 Cadillac Cimarron 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel 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 Cimarron steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Cadillac Cimarron Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1985 Cadillac Cimarron’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Cimarron’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Cadillac Cimarron shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1985 Cadillac Cimarron suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1985 Cadillac Cimarron Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cimarron's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Cadillac Cimarron? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Cadillac intended.
  • Does my Cadillac Cimarron power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Cimarron is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Cadillac Cimarron bouncing excessively? 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 Cimarron to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Cimarron's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Cadillac Cimarron shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cimarron feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cimarron travels over minor bumps.
