Does Your 2008 Cadillac DTS Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Cadillac DTS, 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 DTS jolts, leans 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 2008 Cadillac DTS in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Cadillac DTS’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac DTS

Your 2008 Cadillac DTS’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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Cadillac DTS’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Cadillac DTS shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Cadillac DTS’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2008 Cadillac DTS Steering & Suspension

  • 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 alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 come into contact with the road in the way Cadillac intended.
  • When does Cadillac DTS 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 DTS 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 DTS to have a bouncy ride? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your DTS'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 DTS shocks feel like? Worn DTS 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.
