When To Get 2016 Cadillac ELR Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2016 Cadillac ELR, 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 ELR bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Cadillac ELR in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Cadillac ELR’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 ELR Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Cadillac ELR’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Cadillac ELR’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Cadillac ELR shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Cadillac ELR’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2016 Cadillac ELR Steering & Suspension

  • 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Cadillac ELR? 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.
  • When should I have my Cadillac ELR power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Cadillac ELR bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac ELR 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 ELR's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your ELR combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Cadillac ELR shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your ELR feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your ELR travels over minor bumps.
