Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Savana 3500's steering and suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Savana 3500?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires 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 can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my GMC Savana 3500 bouncing so much?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

What can cause the front end of my Savana 3500 to dip forward when I apply 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.

When To Get 2024 GMC Savana 3500 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2024 GMC Savana 3500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Savana 3500 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2024 GMC Savana 3500 in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your GMC Savana 3500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 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. But there's no set schedule for 2024 GMC Savana 3500 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn GMC Savana 3500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2024 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.
