Is It Time For 1999 Chevrolet Express 2500 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1999 Chevrolet Express 2500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Express 2500 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Chevrolet Express 2500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Express 2500 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 Express 2500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Express 2500 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Chevrolet Express 2500’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1999 Chevrolet Express 2500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Express 2500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Express 2500’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 Express 2500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Express 2500? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Express 2500 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Express 2500 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Express 2500 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Express 2500 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Express 2500 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Express 2500 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Express 2500 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Express 2500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Express 2500 travels over minor bumps.
