When To Get 1998 Chevrolet K2500 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1998 Chevrolet K2500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your K2500 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1998 Chevrolet K2500 in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your K2500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your K2500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet K2500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 Chevrolet K2500 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1998 Chevrolet K2500’s shocks and struts replaced 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 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Chevrolet K2500’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1998 K2500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why should my Chevrolet K2500 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. 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.
  • When does Chevrolet K2500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your K2500 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet K2500 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.
  • Why does my K2500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your K2500 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet K2500 shocks? Worn K2500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your K2500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your K2500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
