Does Your 2023 Cadillac XT5 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2023 Cadillac XT5, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your XT5 bounces, pulls 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 2023 Cadillac XT5 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 XT5 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 XT5 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2023 Cadillac XT5’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Cadillac up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2023 Cadillac XT5 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Cadillac XT5 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 Cadillac XT5 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2023 XT5 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 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. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Cadillac intended.
  • When should I have my Cadillac XT5 power steering fluid checked? 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 can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Cadillac XT5 bouncing 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 dip in the front end of your XT5 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Cadillac XT5 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your XT5 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your XT5 travels over minor bumps.
