When To Get 2011 Cadillac DTS Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2011 Cadillac DTS, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your DTS bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2011 Cadillac DTS in for suspension and steering service. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 Cadillac DTS’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Cadillac DTS’s suspension. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 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 back and forth can all point to issues with your Cadillac DTS shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 Cadillac DTS suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2011 DTS Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your DTS is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Cadillac DTS to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my DTS to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Cadillac DTS need replacing? 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.
