Is It Time For 1990 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1990 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your V2500 Suburban feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Chevrolet V2500 Suburban’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Chevrolet V2500 Suburban

Your 1990 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your V2500 Suburban’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Chevrolet V2500 Suburban shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your V2500 Suburban’s 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.

1990 V2500 Suburban Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Chevrolet V2500 Suburban? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Chevrolet intended.
  • When should I have my Chevrolet V2500 Suburban power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your V2500 Suburban is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Chevrolet's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet V2500 Suburban bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Chevrolet V2500 Suburban 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 V2500 Suburban front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your V2500 Suburban 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 V2500 Suburban shocks? Worn V2500 Suburban shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your V2500 Suburban might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your V2500 Suburban shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
