Is It Time For 2014 GMC Savana 2500 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2014 GMC Savana 2500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Savana 2500 feels bouncy, sways 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 2014 GMC Savana 2500 in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. 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 Savana 2500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 Savana 2500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 GMC Savana 2500’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2014 GMC Savana 2500 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn GMC Savana 2500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2014 GMC Savana 2500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2014 Savana 2500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Savana 2500? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • When does GMC Savana 2500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Savana 2500 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my GMC Savana 2500 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 Savana 2500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Savana 2500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Savana 2500 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn GMC Savana 2500 shocks? If your Savana 2500 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 Savana 2500 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
