How to Replace a Shock Absorber (FE1, FE3) on Cadillac DTS?

Starting the Shock Absorber (FE1, FE3) replacement requires vehicle raising and stable support. Begin by removing the wheel followed by the tire then jack the Control Arm into position for support. Detach the electronic level control air tube and shock electrical connector from the Control Arm while removing all wires from the Control Arm. The Shock Absorber needs removal by unbolting its two connections to the Control Arm before pulling out the trunk trim to reveal access to the upper shock. First detach the upper shock dust cover before you can reach the two nuts along with the shock reinforcement and proceed with the Shock Absorber extraction from the vehicle. Begin installation by placement of the new shock onto the vehicle before mounting its upper component. Set the shock reinforcement and two nuts into their places before securing them at 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Install the shock cover followed by proper placement of the trunk trim. Add lower shock bolts to their positioning and tighten them to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Afterward, join electronic air control air tube and electrical connector to the Control Arm (FE3 and FE45) routing wiring properly. Fasten the wheel with tire in place while tightening each wheel nut to 125 n.m (80 lb ft). First allow the alc system to perform the arc by enabling the ignition and waiting 45 seconds during which the shock absorbers receive residual pressure. Finally, lower 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.
