Does Your 1990 GMC G2500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1990 GMC G2500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your G2500 jolts, leans 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 1990 GMC G2500 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 dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your G2500 suspension system needs repair, 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 GMC G2500’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 G2500

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 GMC G2500 suspension system. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1990 GMC G2500 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn GMC G2500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your G2500’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 G2500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my G2500's steering and 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 should my GMC G2500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 G2500 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your G2500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my GMC G2500 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your GMC G2500 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 G2500 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your G2500 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 G2500 shocks? Worn G2500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your G2500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your G2500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
