Is It Time For 2013 GMC Savana 3500 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2013 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, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2013 GMC Savana 3500, bring it 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, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 GMC Savana 3500’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2013 GMC Savana 3500 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2013 GMC Savana 3500 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2013 Savana 3500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 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. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • 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’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my GMC Savana 3500 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your GMC Savana 3500 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth 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.
  • What do worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks feel like? If your Savana 3500 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Savana 3500 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
