Is It Time For 2016 Cadillac SRX Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2016 Cadillac SRX, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your SRX bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Cadillac SRX in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your SRX suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Cadillac SRX 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 SRX Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2016 Cadillac SRX’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 SRX’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Cadillac SRX shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Cadillac SRX suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 SRX Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SRX's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 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 SRX’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Cadillac SRX bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your SRX to bounce more than usual.
  • 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? 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.
