Does Your 2006 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Chevrolet Suburban 1500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Suburban 1500 feels bouncy, 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 2006 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Suburban 1500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Suburban 1500 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet Suburban 1500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2006 Chevrolet Suburban 1500’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2006 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Suburban 1500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2006 Suburban 1500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 Suburban 1500? 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 Suburban 1500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Suburban 1500 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Chevrolet Suburban 1500 to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Suburban 1500 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Suburban 1500'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 Suburban 1500 are bad? Worn Suburban 1500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Suburban 1500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Suburban 1500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
