How to replace the front shock absorber assembly (FE7) on Cadillac DTS?

Start by removing the three bolts which secure the strut tower. Support the elevated vehicle by bracketting its frame until the control arms dangle below. Disassemble your vehicle by extracting the wheel and tire followed by wheel speed sensor connector disconnection. Along with removing the wheel speed sensor bracket from the dust shield you need to remove the brake line bracket from the strut. To install the new strut you need to take out the knuckle bolts first and then remove the strut from its vehicle position. Installation begins with struts placed first where fastener caution recommendations must be observed. Screw in the 3 strut tower bolts accompanied by washers followed by torque settings of 66 nm (49 lb ft). Fasten the strut to knuckle bolts and nuts before torquing them to 177 nm (131 lb ft). Secure the brake line bracket on the strut by tightening it to 23 nm (17 lb ft) before installing the wheel speed sensor bracket on the dust shield. Once this is complete, connect the wheel speed sensor connector. Add the wheel and tire before securing them with 125 nm (80 lb ft) torque and lowering the car.

How to service and repair the front coil springs and shock absorber on Cadillac DTS?

Starting to service and repair suspension struts requires first removing the component from the vehicle. Fit the strut into j 45400 while pressing the spring to achieve free movement. Continue to turn the forcing screw on the spring compressor to compress the coil spring. With the 45 torx(R) socket together with j-35669 maintain the strut shaft to remove the upper strut mount nut. Start by taking the strut out of the j 45400. Then loosen the compressor forcing screw to release the upper strut mount and coil spring components. The coil spring and upper strut mount join the j 45400 assembly where the spring suffers compression from turning the forcing screw before fitting the strut to its position. Start by installing the strut retaining nut loosely and use a 45 torx(R) socket with j-35669 to apply a torque of 85 nm (63 lb ft) onto the upper strut mount nut while maintaining the desired orientation on the strut shaft. Use the j 45400 to install the strut into its original position in the vehicle.

Shock Absorber of Cadillac DTS vehicles is the device accountable for the suspension system for the car, complementing the form of the struts. These components assist in reducing bounce and isolate shock impulses resulting in the enhancement of ride comfort and stability. It has been noted that Cadillac DTS vehicles over the years have incorporated many different kinds of shock absorbers- even dozens- which divided into two main categories- twin-tube and mono-tube- differ from each other by the manner in which hydraulic fluid flow is controlled in response to changes in driving conditions. Subtypes of shock absorbers such as PSD and ASD go deeper into defining the shock absorber's response according to conditions like position or acceleration and other technologies including electrorheological and magnetorheological dampers enable a semi-active and adaptive suspension system to kick in and improve comfort and control.
