ATTENTION: CADILLAC CTS OWNERS

"Did You Know You Should Replace Your Struts Every 50,000 Miles?..."

Safety experts recommend most struts need to be replaced between 40,000 - 50,000 miles. But, depending on what kind of driving you do, they can wear out sooner. Bumpy roads or over-enthusiastic driving in your Cadillac CTS can accelerate how fast this happens.

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. Worn struts are not only uncomfortable, but can also be dangerous.

"Struts Really Are The Heart of Your Suspension..."

Believe it or not, the struts are a vital component of your suspensions system. The most noticeable advantage of a strut 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 struts your CTS would be bouncing around on the springs.

You want control while driving your CTS, so functioning struts are not just something you want, you need them for your Cadillac CTS.

When you're driving, your tires only make contact with the road on a pretty small part of tire. If you're struts aren't working correctly, then the tires on your CTS are really just bouncing all over the place. That means your tires spend more time in the air than on the road.

"Don't Let This Happen To You..."

If your CTS is bouncing down the road while you're trying to drive, then chances are you've got worn struts.

Another important feature of struts is that they make steering and braking work properly. If the struts on your CTS are worn, then your brakes and steering aren't working correctly. That's pretty dangerous.

Another sign that you're struts are ready for retirement, is cupped wear on your tires. If your struts 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.

Tires bouncing all over the road with a CTS on top of them is not a good game plan if you want the best road handling and a safe, comfortable ride or if you'd like to keep your tires for a while longer!

"How Come My CTS Struts Wore Out?..."

Struts have valves and seals inside of them, and over time and depending on the the roads you drive and how you the drive, your struts take it all. They just take a beating with all the bouncing, and sooner or later, just stop working.

"I Need New Struts!..."

Strutmasters is pleased to offer you the Monroe Sensa-Trac Strut for your CTS. The Monroe Sensa-Trac Strut with PSD (position sensitive damping) and the Safe Tech system combines exclusive precision tapered grooves in the pressure tube with application engineered valving and Fluon banded piston.

Whew. So, what does that do? Well, it will improve your CTS ride, handling, and safety! Not bad for a start.

In addition to better ride and greater safety, the Sensa-Trac Strut also include a heavy gauge calibrated spring for even extra control and comfort in your CTS.

And if that's not enough, a new Monroe Sensa-Trac Strut can assist in maintaining ride height when loaded up to 1,200 lbs of additional weight. These are great struts for the Cadillac CTS, especially if you carry varying loads or do any towing
