Does Your 1999 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban, 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 K1500 Suburban jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban, bring it 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 K1500 Suburban 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 K1500 Suburban Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban’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 limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet K1500 Suburban shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1999 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet K1500 Suburban? 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 K1500 Suburban power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your K1500 Suburban’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 K1500 Suburban to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet K1500 Suburban 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 K1500 Suburban tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your K1500 Suburban when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Chevrolet K1500 Suburban shocks feel like? Worn K1500 Suburban shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your K1500 Suburban might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your K1500 Suburban shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
