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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When should I have my Chevrolet Express 3500 power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines 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 front end dip forward when I brake?

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 shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Express 3500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Express 3500 travels over minor bumps.

When To Get 2012 Chevrolet Express 3500 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2012 Chevrolet Express 3500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Express 3500 bounces, pulls 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 2012 Chevrolet Express 3500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chevrolet Express 3500 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet Express 3500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2012 Chevrolet Express 3500’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 getting your 2012 Chevrolet Express 3500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Express 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Express 3500’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
