Does Your 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Escalade EXT bounces, sways 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 EXT in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac Escalade EXT Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2012 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. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Escalade EXT’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Cadillac Escalade EXT shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2012 Escalade EXT Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Cadillac's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 should I have my Cadillac Escalade EXT power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Escalade EXT is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Cadillac Escalade EXT bouncing 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? 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? Worn Escalade EXT shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Escalade EXT might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Escalade EXT shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
