Does Your 2014 GMC Acadia Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2014 GMC Acadia, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Acadia bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2014 GMC Acadia in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your GMC Acadia’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

GMC Acadia Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2014 GMC Acadia’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2014 GMC Acadia shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn GMC Acadia shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2014 GMC Acadia’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2014 GMC Acadia Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Acadia's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Acadia? 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 GMC intended.
  • When does GMC Acadia power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Acadia’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my GMC Acadia bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your GMC Acadia 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 Acadia front end dip forward when I brake? 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 GMC Acadia shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Acadia feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Acadia travels over minor bumps.
