When To Get 2012 Cadillac SRX Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2012 Cadillac SRX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your SRX bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2012 Cadillac SRX in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac SRX Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2012 Cadillac SRX’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Cadillac SRX shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 Cadillac SRX’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2012 Cadillac SRX Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Cadillac's 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 should my Cadillac SRX 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 does Cadillac SRX power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Cadillac SRX need replacing? If your SRX shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your SRX might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
