When To Get 2019 Cadillac XT5 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2019 Cadillac XT5, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XT5 bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2019 Cadillac XT5 in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your XT5 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your XT5 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Cadillac XT5 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2019 Cadillac XT5’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2019 Cadillac XT5’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Cadillac XT5 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2019 Cadillac XT5’s 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.

2019 XT5 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XT5's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 XT5 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Cadillac XT5 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 XT5 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 XT5 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Cadillac XT5 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.
  • Why does my XT5 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XT5'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 XT5 shocks feel like? If your XT5 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 XT5 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
