Is It Time For 1998 Cadillac Eldorado Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1998 Cadillac Eldorado, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Eldorado bounces, drifts 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 1998 Cadillac Eldorado 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle 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 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac Eldorado Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1998 Cadillac Eldorado’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Eldorado’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Cadillac Eldorado shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Cadillac Eldorado’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1998 Cadillac Eldorado Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Cadillac Eldorado get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 Eldorado 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 Eldorado’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Cadillac Eldorado bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac Eldorado might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Eldorado's nose dive down 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Cadillac Eldorado need replacing? 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.
