Is It Time For 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 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 jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Silverado 1500’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 Silverado 1500 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 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 Silverado 1500? 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.
  • Does my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Silverado 1500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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 Silverado 1500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Silverado 1500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Silverado 1500 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Silverado 1500 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Silverado 1500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Silverado 1500 travels over minor bumps.
