When To Get 1988 Cadillac Cimarron Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1988 Cadillac Cimarron, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Cimarron bounces, sways 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 1988 Cadillac Cimarron in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 parts of your Cadillac Cimarron suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac Cimarron Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1988 Cadillac Cimarron suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1988 Cadillac Cimarron shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Cadillac Cimarron shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Cimarron’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1988 Cadillac Cimarron Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cimarron's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 Cimarron? 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 connect with the road how Cadillac intended.
  • Does my Cadillac Cimarron power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. 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? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac Cimarron 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Cimarron to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Cimarron 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 Cimarron are bad? If your Cimarron 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 Cimarron might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
