Cadillacs are prized for their powerful, smooth rides - so keep your car running happily by replacing your Cadillac shocks regularly. You will preserve your car's mechanical parts, and avoid catastrophic repair bills with this simple act of maintaining your Cadillac shocks. Why pay for a dealership to replace your Cadillac shocks, when it is easy and economical to buy the shocks here, then do it yourself? First, take time to heed practical safety measures. Position a block of wood or cement in front of and behind the wheels while working on the Cadillac shocks - so when you are working on the front shocks, brace the back wheels with a block, and vice versa. Make sure that the shocks mounting systems are smooth/ free of loose rust or dirt. In cars with coil springs, support the rear axle housing. Check your car owner's manual and the shock instructions for proper jack positioning - do not support the car entirely on jacks! Check your tools to see if you have the necessary items, which usually include a deep/ shallow 1/2 or 3/8 socket set, box and open-end wrench set, lug wrench, hammer, pliers, and torque wrench, hydraulic jack, two safety support stands and four wood or concrete blocks. And finally, use safety glasses when replacing your Cadillac shocks.
