Does Your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Silverado 1500 bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection 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 parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Silverado 1500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2023 Silverado 1500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 does Chevrolet Silverado 1500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Silverado 1500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to have a bouncy ride? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Silverado 1500 to dip forward when I apply 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 Silverado 1500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Silverado 1500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Silverado 1500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
