When To Get 2003 Chevrolet Express 3500 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 Chevrolet Express 3500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Express 3500 bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2003 Chevrolet Express 3500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Express 3500 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 parts of your Chevrolet Express 3500 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Express 3500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Chevrolet Express 3500’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2003 Chevrolet Express 3500 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Express 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Express 3500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2003 Chevrolet Express 3500 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Express 3500's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Express 3500? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Chevrolet Express 3500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Express 3500’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Express 3500 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Express 3500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Express 3500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Express 3500 need replacing? Worn Express 3500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Express 3500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Express 3500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
