Is It Time For 2010 Cadillac SRX Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2010 Cadillac SRX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your SRX bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Cadillac SRX, 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Cadillac SRX’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Cadillac SRX

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Cadillac SRX suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Cadillac SRX’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 SRX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Cadillac SRX? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Cadillac intended.
  • When should I have my Cadillac SRX power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your SRX’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Cadillac SRX bouncing excessively? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your SRX's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Cadillac SRX are bad? Worn SRX shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SRX might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SRX shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
