Does Your 2019 GMC Acadia Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2019 GMC Acadia, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Acadia feels bouncy, leans 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 2019 GMC Acadia 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Acadia Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2019 GMC Acadia suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2019 GMC Acadia’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your GMC Acadia shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Acadia’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2019 Acadia Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Acadia's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my GMC Acadia? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • When should I have my GMC Acadia power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Acadia’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my GMC Acadia bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Acadia to bounce more than usual.
  • 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my GMC Acadia are bad? If your Acadia shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Acadia might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
