Is It Time For 1984 Chevrolet K20 Suburban Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1984 Chevrolet K20 Suburban, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your K20 Suburban jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1984 Chevrolet K20 Suburban, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your K20 Suburban 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet K20 Suburban

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1984 Chevrolet K20 Suburban suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your K20 Suburban’s shocks and struts 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 K20 Suburban shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1984 Chevrolet K20 Suburban suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1984 Chevrolet K20 Suburban Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my K20 Suburban's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Chevrolet K20 Suburban get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet K20 Suburban power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your K20 Suburban’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet K20 Suburban bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my K20 Suburban to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your K20 Suburban 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet K20 Suburban are bad? Worn K20 Suburban 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.
