Does Your 2006 Cadillac STS Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Cadillac STS, 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 STS jolts, drifts 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 2006 Cadillac STS, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your STS 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 STS suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac STS Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Cadillac STS suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Cadillac STS’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Cadillac STS shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Cadillac STS suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 STS Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 STS get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Cadillac STS power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your STS is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Cadillac STS bounce 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 STS front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your STS 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 STS need replacing? Worn STS shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your STS might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your STS shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
