Does Your 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Express 1500 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Express 1500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Chevrolet Express 1500’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet Express 1500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Express 1500’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Express 1500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2008 Chevrolet Express 1500 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Express 1500? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Express 1500 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Express 1500’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Express 1500 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Express 1500 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Express 1500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Express 1500's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Express 1500 shocks? Worn Express 1500 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
