Does Your 2008 GMC Savana 3500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2008 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, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 GMC Savana 3500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 parts of your GMC Savana 3500 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Savana 3500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 GMC Savana 3500’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2008 GMC Savana 3500 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 GMC Savana 3500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2008 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 help you notice when you need 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 3500? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. 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 is my GMC Savana 3500 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 3500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Savana 3500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks feel like? 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.
