When To Get 2008 Cadillac Escalade Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2008 Cadillac Escalade, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Escalade bounces, pulls 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 2008 Cadillac Escalade in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Cadillac Escalade’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac Escalade

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Cadillac Escalade’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 getting your 2008 Cadillac Escalade’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Cadillac Escalade shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Cadillac Escalade suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 Escalade Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Cadillac Escalade 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Cadillac intended.
  • When should I have my Cadillac Escalade power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Escalade’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Cadillac Escalade to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Escalade to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Escalade 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 do worn Cadillac Escalade shocks feel like? Worn Escalade shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
