When To Get 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2016 GMC Sierra 1500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sierra 1500 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Sierra 1500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your GMC Sierra 1500 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

GMC Sierra 1500 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2016 GMC Sierra 1500’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 GMC Sierra 1500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn GMC Sierra 1500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 suspension 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.

2016 Sierra 1500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sierra 1500's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Sierra 1500? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 should I have my GMC Sierra 1500 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Sierra 1500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my GMC Sierra 1500 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sierra 1500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Sierra 1500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Sierra 1500 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn GMC Sierra 1500 shocks? If your Sierra 1500 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 Sierra 1500 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
