Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my K3500's steering and suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 K3500 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.

When should I have my Chevrolet K3500 power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Chevrolet K3500 bouncing so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your K3500 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.

Why does my K3500's nose dive down 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 do I know if I have worn Chevrolet K3500 shocks?

If your K3500 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your K3500 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

Is It Time For 1995 Chevrolet K3500 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1995 Chevrolet K3500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your K3500 feels bouncy, drifts 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 1995 Chevrolet K3500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your K3500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your K3500 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 K3500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1995 Chevrolet K3500’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 K3500’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Chevrolet K3500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1995 Chevrolet K3500 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.
