Is It Time For 1988 Cadillac DeVille Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1988 Cadillac DeVille, 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 DeVille feels bouncy, pulls 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 DeVille 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 parts of your Cadillac DeVille 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac DeVille

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1988 Cadillac DeVille’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1988 Cadillac DeVille shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Cadillac DeVille shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1988 Cadillac DeVille suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1988 Cadillac DeVille Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new 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 DeVille? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Cadillac intended.
  • 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 DeVille’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Cadillac DeVille bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac DeVille 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.
  • Why does my DeVille's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Cadillac DeVille are bad? 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.
