Is It Time For 2007 Cadillac XLR Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2007 Cadillac XLR, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XLR bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2007 Cadillac XLR, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your XLR suspension system needs repair, 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 XLR 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 XLR Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2007 Cadillac XLR’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. 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 2007 Cadillac XLR’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Cadillac XLR shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2007 Cadillac XLR suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2007 Cadillac XLR Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Cadillac's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Cadillac XLR? 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 the tires connect with the road how Cadillac intended.
  • When does Cadillac XLR power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your XLR is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Cadillac's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Cadillac XLR bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac XLR 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 XLR to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XLR'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 do worn Cadillac XLR shocks feel like? If your XLR 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 XLR might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
