ATTENTION: CADILLAC SERIES 60 & 62 OWNERS
"Did You Know Your Series 60 & 62 Shocks Should Be Replaced Every 50,000 Miles?..."
You want to be safe when your out on the road and you want to be comfortable too, so it's really important to inspect your shock absorbers once a year or every 12,000 miles.If your Series 60 & 62 is bouncing down the road while you're trying to drive, then chances are you've got worn shocks. But, that's not the only way to test for signs of worn shocks. Here are a few things to check for:
- Do you experience 3 or more bounces when crossing dip?
- When stopping quickly, does your Series 60 & 62 rock back and forth several times?
- While applying your brakes firmly at higher speeds does your Series 60 & 62 drift left or right?
- Does your Series 60 & 62 rock or sway side to side when changing lanes quickly?
- On a tight curve does your Series 60 & 62 lean and sway with a disconnected feeling?
"Shocks: More Than Just A Comfortable Ride..." Believe it or not, the shock absorbers are a vital component of your suspensions system. The most noticeable advantage of a shock absorber is that they work hand in hand with the springs to "absorb" many of the road bumps and in return you get a smoother ride. Without properly working shocks your Series 60 & 62 would be bouncing around on the springs.
You want control while driving your Series 60 & 62, so, functioning shocks are not just something you want, you need them for your Cadillac Series 60 & 62. When you're driving, your tires only make contact with the road on a pretty small part of the tires.
If you're shocks aren't working correctly, then the tires on your Series 60 & 62 are really just bouncing all over the place. That means your tires spend more time in the air than on the road, which isn't safe and it wears out your tires sooner.
"We're Talking Safety & Money..."
Another important feature of shock absorbers is that they make steering and braking work properly. So, if the shocks on your Series 60 & 62 are worn, then your brakes and steering aren't working correctly. That's pretty dangerous.
Worn shocks are not only uncomfortable, but can also be dangerous.
Another sign that you're shocks are ready for retirement, is cupped wear on your tires. If your shocks need replaced, they can wear out tires in cupped strips because your tires are spending most of the time in the air and not on the road.
Tire bounce, front end dives, sliding on curves in your Series 60 & 62 is definitely not what you want. You want the best road handling and a safe, comfortable ride or if you'd like to keep your tires for a while longer and shocks help you do all these things.
"How Did My Series 60 & 62 Shocks Wear Out?..." Shock absorbers have valves and seals inside of them, and over time and depending on the the roads you drive and how you the drive, your shocks take it all. They just take a beating with all the bouncing, and sooner or later, just stop working.
Bumpy roads or over-enthusiastic driving in your Cadillac Series 60 & 62 can accelerate this process. Safety experts recommend most shocks need to be replaced between 40,000 - 50,000 miles. But, depending on what kind of driving you do, they can wear out sooner.
