Does Your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 2500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Suburban 2500 bounces, drifts 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 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 2500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Suburban 2500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Suburban 2500 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.

Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 2500’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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet Suburban 2500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2012 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Chevrolet Suburban 2500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Chevrolet intended.
  • Does my Chevrolet Suburban 2500 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 Suburban 2500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Suburban 2500 bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet Suburban 2500 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 Suburban 2500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Suburban 2500 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Chevrolet Suburban 2500 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Suburban 2500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Suburban 2500 travels over minor bumps.
