When To Get 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Fleetwood feels bouncy, drifts 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 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood’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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Cadillac Fleetwood shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 Fleetwood Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Cadillac's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Cadillac Fleetwood get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • When should I have my Cadillac Fleetwood power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Fleetwood’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Cadillac Fleetwood 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Fleetwood to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Fleetwood feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Fleetwood travels over minor bumps.
