When To Get 2011 Cadillac STS Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2011 Cadillac STS, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your STS bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 Cadillac STS, bring it 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2011 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 Cadillac STS’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they 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 2011 Cadillac STS suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2011 Cadillac STS Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my STS's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Cadillac STS 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Cadillac STS power steering fluid need to be 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’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Cadillac STS bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac STS might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my STS to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your STS'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 STS need replacing? Worn STS shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
