Does Your 2021 Cadillac Escalade Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2021 Cadillac Escalade, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Escalade feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2021 Cadillac Escalade, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac Escalade

Your 2021 Cadillac Escalade’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Escalade’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Cadillac Escalade shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Cadillac Escalade’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2021 Cadillac Escalade Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Escalade's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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.
  • Does my Cadillac Escalade power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Escalade’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Cadillac Escalade bounce 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Cadillac Escalade shocks? 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.
