Does Your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Silverado 3500 HD feels bouncy, pulls 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 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. 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 your Silverado 3500 HD steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 Silverado 3500 HD Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 3500 HD? 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 connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • Does my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 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 3500 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 3500 HD bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Silverado 3500 HD goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Silverado 3500 HD front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Silverado 3500 HD combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD shocks? Worn Silverado 3500 HD shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Silverado 3500 HD might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Silverado 3500 HD shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
