What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Cadillac's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Cadillac XT6?

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 XT6 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 XT6 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Cadillac's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Cadillac XT6 bouncing excessively?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your XT6 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 XT6 front end dip forward when I brake?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XT6'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 XT6 shocks feel like?

If your XT6 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 XT6 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

When To Get 2024 Cadillac XT6 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2024 Cadillac XT6, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your XT6 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2024 Cadillac XT6 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 XT6 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Cadillac XT6 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Cadillac XT6’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2024 Cadillac XT6 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Cadillac XT6 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2024 Cadillac XT6’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
