Is It Time For 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sierra 2500 HD bounces, leans 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 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 HD in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Sierra 2500 HD suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your GMC Sierra 2500 HD suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Sierra 2500 HD Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 HD’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 HD shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn GMC Sierra 2500 HD shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 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.

2018 Sierra 2500 HD Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how 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’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 2500 HD bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sierra 2500 HD goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Sierra 2500 HD tilt forward 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 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.
