Does Your 1999 GMC Savana 3500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1999 GMC Savana 3500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Savana 3500 bounces, 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 1999 GMC Savana 3500 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Savana 3500 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 3500’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Savana 3500 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 GMC Savana 3500 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 limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1999 GMC Savana 3500 shock and strut replacement 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 signs of worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Savana 3500’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1999 GMC Savana 3500 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Savana 3500's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 3500? 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 Savana 3500 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Savana 3500’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my GMC Savana 3500 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Savana 3500 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Savana 3500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Savana 3500 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks? Worn Savana 3500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Savana 3500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Savana 3500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
