Does Your 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 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 Escalade ESV jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Escalade ESV steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac Escalade ESV

Your 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Escalade ESV’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Cadillac Escalade ESV shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2012 Escalade ESV Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Cadillac's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new 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 Escalade ESV? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Escalade ESV power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 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 tilt forward 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 do I know if I have worn Cadillac Escalade ESV shocks? Worn Escalade ESV 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.
