Does Your 2011 Cadillac SRX Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2011 Cadillac SRX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your SRX feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2011 Cadillac SRX in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 your SRX steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 2011 Cadillac SRX’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your SRX’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Cadillac SRX shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 Cadillac SRX suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2011 SRX Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why should my Cadillac SRX get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • 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'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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Cadillac SRX shocks? 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.
