When To Get 1997 Cadillac DeVille Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1997 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, leans 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 1997 Cadillac DeVille in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your DeVille suspension system needs repair, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac DeVille Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1997 Cadillac DeVille suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1997 Cadillac DeVille’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Cadillac DeVille shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1997 Cadillac DeVille’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1997 DeVille Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's 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 DeVille? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Cadillac DeVille power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your DeVille is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 do I know if I have worn Cadillac DeVille shocks? 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.
