Does Your 2010 Cadillac STS Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Cadillac STS, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your STS jolts, 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 2010 Cadillac STS in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Cadillac STS’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Cadillac STS Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Cadillac STS’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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2010 Cadillac STS shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Cadillac STS shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Cadillac STS’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2010 STS Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my STS's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your STS’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Cadillac service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Cadillac STS bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your STS goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my STS tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Cadillac STS shocks? If your STS 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 STS might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
