When To Get 2006 Cadillac DTS Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2006 Cadillac DTS, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your DTS 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 2006 Cadillac DTS in for steering and suspension services. 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 absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your DTS steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac DTS Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Cadillac DTS suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2006 Cadillac DTS shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Cadillac DTS shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2006 Cadillac DTS’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2006 Cadillac DTS Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my DTS's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 DTS? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 DTS power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Cadillac DTS bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your DTS goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my DTS tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your DTS combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Cadillac DTS shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your DTS feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your DTS travels over minor bumps.
