Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my GMC Canyon?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Canyon power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Canyon is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my GMC Canyon 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 Canyon to bounce more than usual.

Why does my Canyon's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Canyon 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 can I tell if the shocks on my GMC Canyon are bad?

If your Canyon 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 Canyon might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

Does Your 2018 GMC Canyon Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2018 GMC Canyon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Canyon bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 GMC Canyon in for steering and suspension services. 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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Canyon suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Canyon 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 Canyon Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 GMC Canyon’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 GMC Canyon’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn GMC Canyon shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 GMC Canyon suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
