Is It Time For 1983 Cadillac Eldorado Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1983 Cadillac Eldorado, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Eldorado jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1983 Cadillac Eldorado, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, 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 Eldorado steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac Eldorado

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1983 Cadillac Eldorado’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 Eldorado’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Cadillac Eldorado shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1983 Cadillac Eldorado’s 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.

Questions About 1983 Cadillac Eldorado Steering & Suspension

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Cadillac Eldorado? 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.
  • Does my Cadillac Eldorado power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Eldorado is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Cadillac Eldorado bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Eldorado to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Eldorado front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Eldorado'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Cadillac Eldorado are bad? Worn Eldorado 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.
