When To Get 2018 Cadillac Escalade Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2018 Cadillac Escalade, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Escalade feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Cadillac Escalade 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac Escalade

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Cadillac Escalade suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Cadillac Escalade’s shocks and struts replaced 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 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Escalade’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 Cadillac Escalade Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Cadillac's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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? 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 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’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Cadillac Escalade bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Escalade 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 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Escalade'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Cadillac Escalade need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Escalade feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Escalade travels over minor bumps.
