Not all suspension systems are built alike. Shocks and struts are two components that perform the same basic function. Some systems use both shocks and struts, while others use only shocks or only struts.

Increasingly, car manufacturers are turning to struts because they provide extra structural support in addition to their shock absorbing capabilities. You will find your Cadillac Seville struts mounted inside your coil springs. These structures work to keep your springs from bouncing continually after you hit a hard bump or pothole, an effect known as spring oscillation.

Dampening spring oscillation is an important function, and not only because an excessively bouncing car makes for a bumpy ride. When your vehicle is allowed to keep moving up and down, your handling and control are going to suffer. Worn-out Seville struts can cause you to lose control of your vehicle when you turn hard corners or make sudden stops. Some of the signs of worn struts you can feel when you are driving include rear end squatting during acceleration, front end diving during braking, swaying or rolling on turns, and long periods of up-and-down motion following hard bumps in the road. If your vehicle is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is a good idea to perform a visual inspection of your Cadillac Seville struts and associated parts. You should look for crushed bumpers or uneven tire tread wear, leaks or dents on or around your struts, and pitted piston rods.
