When To Get 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Silverado 3500 HD jolts, pulls 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 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub 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 all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2013 Silverado 3500 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 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Silverado 3500 HD is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my Silverado 3500 HD to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Silverado 3500 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD are bad? If your Silverado 3500 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 3500 HD might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
