Does Your 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Express 3500 jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Express 3500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Express 3500 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 3500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Express 3500’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your 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 2006 Chevrolet Express 3500 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Express 3500's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 3500? 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 connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Express 3500 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 3500 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Express 3500 bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Express 3500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Express 3500 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 3500 shocks? Worn Express 3500 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.
