When To Get 2008 Cadillac SRX Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2008 Cadillac SRX, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your SRX feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Cadillac SRX in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub 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 SRX 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 SRX Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Cadillac SRX’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2008 Cadillac SRX shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Cadillac SRX shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your SRX’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 SRX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SRX's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 SRX? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Cadillac SRX power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your SRX’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Cadillac SRX bouncing 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 SRX's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your SRX 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Cadillac SRX need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your SRX feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your SRX travels over minor bumps.
