When To Get 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood, 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 Fleetwood feels bouncy, leans 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 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Cadillac Fleetwood suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Cadillac Fleetwood Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Fleetwood’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 Fleetwood shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Fleetwood’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1989 Fleetwood Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Cadillac Fleetwood? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Cadillac intended.
  • Does my Cadillac Fleetwood 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Cadillac Fleetwood bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac Fleetwood might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Fleetwood to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Fleetwood 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.
  • What do worn Cadillac Fleetwood shocks feel like? Worn Fleetwood shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Fleetwood might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Fleetwood shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
