Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Chevrolet's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When does Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Silverado 3500 HD is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

What can cause my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD to have a bouncy ride?

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?

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.

Does Your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 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 3500 HD feels bouncy, 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 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 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.
