Is It Time For 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Escalade EXT jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Escalade EXT suspension system needs repair, 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 Cadillac Escalade EXT’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac Escalade EXT Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Cadillac Escalade EXT shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Escalade EXT’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Cadillac Escalade EXT get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Cadillac Escalade EXT 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 Escalade EXT’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Cadillac Escalade EXT bounce so much? 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 Escalade EXT'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 do I know if I have worn Cadillac Escalade EXT shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Escalade EXT feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Escalade EXT travels over minor bumps.
