Does Your 2016 GMC Acadia Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 GMC Acadia, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Acadia feels bouncy, drifts 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 2016 GMC Acadia in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Acadia suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 GMC Acadia’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 GMC Acadia’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn GMC Acadia shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 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.

2016 Acadia Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Acadia's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my GMC Acadia bouncing excessively? 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? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Acadia's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn GMC Acadia shocks feel like? 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.
