Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Cadillac Escalade ESV?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Cadillac intended.

When does Cadillac Escalade ESV power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my Cadillac Escalade ESV bouncing so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Escalade ESV goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.

Why does my Escalade ESV's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How can I tell if the shocks on my Cadillac Escalade ESV are bad?

Worn Escalade ESV shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Escalade ESV might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Escalade ESV shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

When To Get 2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Escalade ESV bounces, sways 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 2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Escalade ESV steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac Escalade ESV Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2004 Cadillac Escalade ESV’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 forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Cadillac Escalade ESV shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Escalade ESV’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
