Does Your 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Escalade EXT bounces, pulls 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 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Cadillac Escalade EXT suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac Escalade EXT Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT’s suspension. 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 from side to side, 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 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.

Questions About 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT Steering & Suspension

  • 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Cadillac intended.
  • When does Cadillac Escalade EXT power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Escalade EXT to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Escalade EXT tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Escalade EXT combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Cadillac Escalade EXT are bad? 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.
