Is It Time For 1991 GMC R2500 Suburban Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1991 GMC R2500 Suburban, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your R2500 Suburban feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1991 GMC R2500 Suburban in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your R2500 Suburban suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your R2500 Suburban steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

GMC R2500 Suburban Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1991 GMC R2500 Suburban’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1991 GMC R2500 Suburban shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your GMC R2500 Suburban shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your R2500 Suburban’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1991 GMC R2500 Suburban Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my GMC's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 R2500 Suburban? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my GMC R2500 Suburban power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your R2500 Suburban’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my GMC R2500 Suburban 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 R2500 Suburban to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my R2500 Suburban's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my GMC R2500 Suburban need replacing? If your R2500 Suburban 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 R2500 Suburban might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
