Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Suburban 1500's steering and suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Why should my Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.

When does Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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 Suburban 1500 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Chevrolet Suburban 1500 bouncing excessively?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Suburban 1500 to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Suburban 1500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Suburban 1500 shocks?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Suburban 1500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Suburban 1500 travels over minor bumps.

The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, 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.
