Does Your 1990 Chevrolet R2500 Suburban Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1990 Chevrolet R2500 Suburban, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your R2500 Suburban bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 Chevrolet R2500 Suburban in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. 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 Chevrolet R2500 Suburban’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet R2500 Suburban

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Chevrolet R2500 Suburban’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your R2500 Suburban’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chevrolet R2500 Suburban shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Chevrolet R2500 Suburban’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 R2500 Suburban Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet R2500 Suburban? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet R2500 Suburban 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’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet R2500 Suburban 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 R2500 Suburban front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your R2500 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet R2500 Suburban need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your R2500 Suburban feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your R2500 Suburban travels over minor bumps.
