Does Your 1997 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1997 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your K2500 Suburban jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1997 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban in for steering and suspension services. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, 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 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 K2500 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 K2500 Suburban Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1997 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your K2500 Suburban’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet K2500 Suburban shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1997 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my K2500 Suburban'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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Chevrolet K2500 Suburban get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 does Chevrolet K2500 Suburban power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your K2500 Suburban’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet K2500 Suburban to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your K2500 Suburban to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my K2500 Suburban tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet K2500 Suburban are bad? Worn K2500 Suburban shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your K2500 Suburban might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your K2500 Suburban shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
