Does Your 2010 Cadillac CTS Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2010 Cadillac CTS, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your CTS jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2010 Cadillac CTS in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 CTS steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 CTS

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Cadillac CTS’s suspension. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your CTS’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Cadillac CTS shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2010 Cadillac CTS suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2010 CTS Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my CTS'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Cadillac CTS? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Cadillac intended.
  • Does my Cadillac CTS 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 CTS’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Cadillac CTS bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your CTS goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my CTS front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your CTS'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Cadillac CTS need replacing? Worn CTS shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your CTS might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your CTS shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
