Does Your 1995 GMC C1500 Suburban Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1995 GMC C1500 Suburban, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your C1500 Suburban jolts, sways 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 1995 GMC C1500 Suburban in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, 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 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 C1500 Suburban steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

GMC C1500 Suburban Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1995 GMC C1500 Suburban’s suspension. 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 factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your GMC C1500 Suburban shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your C1500 Suburban’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1995 C1500 Suburban Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my C1500 Suburban's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 C1500 Suburban? 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.
  • Does my GMC C1500 Suburban power steering fluid need to be 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’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my GMC C1500 Suburban to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your C1500 Suburban to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my C1500 Suburban tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • What do worn GMC C1500 Suburban shocks feel like? 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.
