Is It Time For 1995 GMC K2500 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1995 GMC K2500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your K2500 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1995 GMC K2500, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your K2500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your GMC K2500 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 K2500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1995 GMC K2500 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1995 GMC K2500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your GMC K2500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1995 GMC K2500 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1995 K2500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my K2500'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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my GMC K2500 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. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my GMC K2500 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your K2500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my GMC K2500 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your GMC K2500 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 K2500 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your K2500'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 do I know if I have worn GMC K2500 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your K2500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your K2500 travels over minor bumps.
