Does Your 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sierra 2500 HD bounces, leans 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 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 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, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your GMC Sierra 2500 HD

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 HD suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your GMC Sierra 2500 HD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 HD suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2013 Sierra 2500 HD Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sierra 2500 HD'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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my GMC Sierra 2500 HD? 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 connect with the road how GMC intended.
  • Does my GMC Sierra 2500 HD power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sierra 2500 HD’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my GMC Sierra 2500 HD to have a bouncy ride? 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? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sierra 2500 HD'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.
  • What do worn GMC Sierra 2500 HD shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sierra 2500 HD feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sierra 2500 HD travels over minor bumps.
