Does Your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Sierra 2500 HD feels bouncy, leans 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 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 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, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Sierra 2500 HD suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your GMC Sierra 2500 HD’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Sierra 2500 HD Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your GMC Sierra 2500 HD shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD’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.

2005 Sierra 2500 HD Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sierra 2500 HD's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Sierra 2500 HD? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • When does GMC Sierra 2500 HD power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sierra 2500 HD is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 2500 HD 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 Sierra 2500 HD to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Sierra 2500 HD's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sierra 2500 HD combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my GMC Sierra 2500 HD need replacing? Worn Sierra 2500 HD shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
