Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 should my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 2500 HD 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 2500 HD’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.

What can cause my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD to have a bouncy ride?

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 2500 HD tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD need replacing?

Worn Silverado 2500 HD shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Silverado 2500 HD might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Silverado 2500 HD shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

When To Get 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 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 2500 HD jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub 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 all of your options and the potential cost. If your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD’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 limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Silverado 2500 HD’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
