When To Get 2013 Cadillac CTS Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2013 Cadillac CTS, 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 CTS jolts, leans 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 2013 Cadillac CTS in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Cadillac CTS suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac CTS

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 Cadillac CTS’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 Cadillac CTS’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Cadillac CTS shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your CTS’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2013 Cadillac CTS Steering & Suspension

  • 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Cadillac CTS? 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 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Cadillac CTS to have a bouncy ride? 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 CTS to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Cadillac CTS shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your CTS feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your CTS travels over minor bumps.
