Is It Time For 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Silverado 1500 HD 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 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 parts of your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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 Silverado 1500 HD

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 HD’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2006 Silverado 1500 HD Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Silverado 1500 HD's steering and 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 Silverado 1500 HD? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Silverado 1500 HD is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Silverado 1500 HD's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Silverado 1500 HD 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.
  • What do worn Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD shocks feel like? Worn Silverado 1500 HD shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Silverado 1500 HD might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Silverado 1500 HD shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
