Is It Time For 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Silverado 3500 HD bounces, leans 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 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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

Your 2017 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. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Silverado 3500 HD’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 Silverado 3500 HD Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Silverado 3500 HD's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 3500 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 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.
  • 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD bounce 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD need replacing? 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.
