Does Your 2015 GMC Acadia Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2015 GMC Acadia, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Acadia bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2015 GMC Acadia in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. 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 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your GMC Acadia

Your 2015 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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Acadia’s shocks and struts 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 can all point to issues with your GMC Acadia shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2015 GMC Acadia’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2015 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 help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Acadia? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • When does GMC Acadia 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 Acadia’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my GMC Acadia bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Acadia 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 Acadia's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Acadia combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn GMC Acadia shocks? Worn Acadia shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Acadia might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Acadia shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
