When To Get 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Escalade ESV feels bouncy, sways 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 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Cadillac Escalade ESV 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 Escalade ESV Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Escalade ESV’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Cadillac Escalade ESV shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2008 Escalade ESV Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. 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 Escalade ESV? 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 Escalade ESV power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Escalade ESV is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Cadillac Escalade ESV bounce 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 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Escalade ESV 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 Escalade ESV need replacing? If your Escalade ESV shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Escalade ESV might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
