Is It Time For 2006 GMC Savana 3500 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2006 GMC Savana 3500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Savana 3500 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2006 GMC Savana 3500, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Savana 3500 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Savana 3500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Savana 3500 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2006 GMC Savana 3500’s suspension. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Savana 3500’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2006 GMC 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 2006 GMC Savana 3500 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Savana 3500's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my GMC Savana 3500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does GMC Savana 3500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Savana 3500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my GMC Savana 3500 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Savana 3500 to bounce more than usual.
  • 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 are the signs that the shocks on my GMC Savana 3500 need replacing? Worn Savana 3500 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
