Is It Time For 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Escalade EXT feels bouncy, drifts 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 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, 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 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 parts of your Cadillac Escalade EXT suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Cadillac Escalade EXT Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Cadillac Escalade EXT shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 Escalade EXT Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Escalade EXT's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 EXT? 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.
  • Does my Cadillac Escalade EXT power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Escalade EXT is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Cadillac Escalade EXT bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac Escalade EXT might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Escalade EXT front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Escalade EXT's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Cadillac Escalade EXT shocks feel like? If your Escalade EXT 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 EXT might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
