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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Why should my Chevrolet V2500 Suburban get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

When should I have my Chevrolet V2500 Suburban power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Chevrolet service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

What can cause my Chevrolet V2500 Suburban to have a bouncy ride?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your V2500 Suburban 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 V2500 Suburban tilt forward 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet V2500 Suburban are bad?

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.

Is It Time For 1991 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1991 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your V2500 Suburban jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1991 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 1991 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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Chevrolet V2500 Suburban shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Chevrolet V2500 Suburban suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
