When To Get 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 GMC Sierra 2500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Sierra 2500 jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2003 GMC Sierra 2500, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 your GMC Sierra 2500’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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Sierra 2500’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn GMC Sierra 2500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 GMC Sierra 2500’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.

Questions About 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 should my GMC Sierra 2500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • Does my GMC Sierra 2500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Sierra 2500 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 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sierra 2500 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sierra 2500 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Sierra 2500 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.
  • What do worn GMC Sierra 2500 shocks feel like? Worn Sierra 2500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sierra 2500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sierra 2500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
