Does Your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Silverado 1500 Classic 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 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Silverado 1500 Classic suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 Silverado 1500 Classic’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2007 Silverado 1500 Classic Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 Silverado 1500 Classic? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic power steering fluid 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 can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic bouncing so much? 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 Silverado 1500 Classic's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Silverado 1500 Classic combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic need replacing? Worn Silverado 1500 Classic shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Silverado 1500 Classic might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Silverado 1500 Classic shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
