Does Your 2014 Cadillac ELR Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2014 Cadillac ELR, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your ELR bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2014 Cadillac ELR, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Cadillac ELR 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac ELR

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Cadillac ELR suspension system. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your ELR’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Cadillac ELR shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Cadillac ELR suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 ELR Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Cadillac ELR get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Cadillac intended.
  • Does my Cadillac ELR 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 ELR’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Cadillac ELR bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my ELR tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your ELR'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 do I know if I have worn Cadillac ELR shocks? Worn ELR shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your ELR might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your ELR shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
