When To Get 1993 GMC C1500 Suburban Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1993 GMC C1500 Suburban, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your C1500 Suburban bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1993 GMC C1500 Suburban, bring it 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your GMC C1500 Suburban’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your GMC C1500 Suburban

Your 1993 GMC C1500 Suburban’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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your C1500 Suburban’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your GMC C1500 Suburban shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 GMC C1500 Suburban suspension 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.

1993 C1500 Suburban Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC'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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC C1500 Suburban? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my GMC C1500 Suburban power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your C1500 Suburban is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my GMC C1500 Suburban to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your GMC C1500 Suburban 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 C1500 Suburban front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your C1500 Suburban 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my GMC C1500 Suburban need replacing? Worn C1500 Suburban shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your C1500 Suburban might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your C1500 Suburban shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
