Does Your 2016 GMC Savana 2500 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 GMC Savana 2500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. 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 problems is a good time to bring your 2016 GMC Savana 2500 in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Savana 2500 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 GMC Savana 2500’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your GMC Savana 2500

Your 2016 GMC Savana 2500’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Savana 2500’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they 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 smart move to get your Savana 2500’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 Savana 2500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Savana 2500? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 should I have my GMC Savana 2500 power steering fluid checked? 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 does my GMC Savana 2500 bounce 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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Savana 2500'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.
  • What do worn GMC Savana 2500 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Savana 2500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Savana 2500 travels over minor bumps.
