When To Get 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Fleetwood jolts, drifts 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 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Cadillac Fleetwood shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Fleetwood’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1994 Fleetwood Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Fleetwood's steering and 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all 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? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Fleetwood’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Cadillac Fleetwood bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Cadillac Fleetwood shocks? 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.
