When To Get 1990 GMC Jimmy Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1990 GMC Jimmy, 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. Perhaps your Jimmy feels bouncy, drifts 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 Jimmy 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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your GMC Jimmy suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Jimmy Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 GMC Jimmy suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 Jimmy’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn GMC Jimmy shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 GMC Jimmy’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1990 GMC Jimmy Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Jimmy? 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.
  • Does my GMC Jimmy power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Jimmy’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my GMC Jimmy bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your GMC Jimmy 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Jimmy to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Jimmy's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my GMC Jimmy are bad? Worn Jimmy shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
