When To Get 1990 Chevrolet K3500 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1990 Chevrolet K3500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your K3500 feels bouncy, 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 1990 Chevrolet K3500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your K3500 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 K3500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Chevrolet K3500’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1990 Chevrolet K3500 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet K3500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your K3500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1990 K3500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my K3500'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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet K3500? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • Does my Chevrolet K3500 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chevrolet K3500 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your K3500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my K3500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your K3500'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet K3500 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your K3500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your K3500 travels over minor bumps.
