Does Your 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Escalade EXT feels bouncy, 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 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 EXT 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 EXT Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Escalade EXT’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Cadillac Escalade EXT shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Escalade EXT’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 Escalade EXT Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Cadillac Escalade EXT? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Cadillac Escalade EXT power steering fluid need to be 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 follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Cadillac Escalade EXT bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Escalade EXT 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 EXT's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Escalade EXT 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 EXT need replacing? 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.
