Does Your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Silverado 3500 HD jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, bring it 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, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub 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 3500 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.

Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Silverado 3500 HD’s 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.

Questions About 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Steering & Suspension

  • 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Silverado 3500 HD’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Silverado 3500 HD tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Silverado 3500 HD's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • 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.
