Does Your 1985 Chevrolet K20 Suburban Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1985 Chevrolet K20 Suburban, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your K20 Suburban bounces, sways 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 1985 Chevrolet K20 Suburban, bring it 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 your K20 Suburban steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet K20 Suburban Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1985 Chevrolet K20 Suburban suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 1985 Chevrolet K20 Suburban’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chevrolet K20 Suburban shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1985 Chevrolet K20 Suburban’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1985 Chevrolet K20 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 help you notice when you need 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 K20 Suburban? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • Does my Chevrolet K20 Suburban 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 K20 Suburban’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet K20 Suburban bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet K20 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my K20 Suburban to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your K20 Suburban's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Chevrolet K20 Suburban shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your K20 Suburban feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your K20 Suburban travels over minor bumps.
