When To Get 2003 GMC Savana 3500 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2003 GMC Savana 3500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Savana 3500 bounces, pulls 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 2003 GMC Savana 3500 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Savana 3500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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

Your 2003 GMC Savana 3500’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 2003 GMC Savana 3500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Savana 3500’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2003 GMC Savana 3500 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my GMC Savana 3500? 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.
  • Does my GMC Savana 3500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Savana 3500 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my GMC Savana 3500 bounce so much? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Savana 3500 to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What do worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Savana 3500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Savana 3500 travels over minor bumps.
