When To Get 2008 GMC Envoy Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2008 GMC Envoy, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Envoy bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 GMC Envoy in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your GMC Envoy’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 Envoy Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2008 GMC Envoy’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2008 GMC Envoy shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn GMC Envoy shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Envoy’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.

2008 Envoy Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my GMC's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Why should my GMC Envoy get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • Does my GMC Envoy power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Envoy’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my GMC Envoy bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Envoy to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Envoy to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Envoy when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn GMC Envoy shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Envoy feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Envoy travels over minor bumps.
