When To Get 1998 Cadillac DeVille Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1998 Cadillac DeVille, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your DeVille jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1998 Cadillac DeVille in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Cadillac DeVille’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Cadillac DeVille Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1998 Cadillac DeVille’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your DeVille’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Cadillac DeVille shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Cadillac DeVille suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1998 DeVille Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Cadillac's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 DeVille? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how 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 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Cadillac DeVille to have a bouncy ride? 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? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Cadillac DeVille shocks? Worn DeVille shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
