Is It Time For 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1984 Cadillac Eldorado, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Eldorado jolts, drifts 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 1984 Cadillac Eldorado in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Cadillac Eldorado suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac Eldorado Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1984 Cadillac Eldorado’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 1984 Cadillac Eldorado’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Cadillac Eldorado shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1984 Cadillac Eldorado suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1984 Eldorado Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Eldorado's steering and 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 Eldorado? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Cadillac intended.
  • When should I have my Cadillac Eldorado power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Eldorado is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Eldorado when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Cadillac Eldorado shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Eldorado feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Eldorado travels over minor bumps.
