Is It Time For 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Silverado 2500 HD feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel 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 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 2500 HD 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD’s suspension. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 Silverado 2500 HD Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When does Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Silverado 2500 HD’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Silverado 2500 HD to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Silverado 2500 HD to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Silverado 2500 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 2500 HD shocks feel like? If your Silverado 2500 HD shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Silverado 2500 HD might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
