When To Get 2020 GMC Savana 3500 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2020 GMC Savana 3500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Savana 3500 bounces, sways 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 2020 GMC Savana 3500 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 GMC Savana 3500’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, 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 regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 Savana 3500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my GMC's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • When should I have my GMC Savana 3500 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Savana 3500 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my GMC Savana 3500 bouncing excessively? 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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Savana 3500's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • 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.
