When To Get 1984 Cadillac DeVille Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1984 Cadillac DeVille, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your DeVille jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1984 Cadillac DeVille in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel 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 Cadillac DeVille’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac DeVille

Your 1984 Cadillac DeVille’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 1984 Cadillac DeVille shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Cadillac DeVille shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Cadillac DeVille’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1984 DeVille Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 should my Cadillac DeVille get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Cadillac DeVille power steering fluid 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 DeVille bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your DeVille to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my DeVille to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your DeVille'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 do worn Cadillac DeVille shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your DeVille feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your DeVille travels over minor bumps.
