Does Your 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2004 GMC Sierra 2500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sierra 2500 bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2004 GMC Sierra 2500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Sierra 2500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your GMC Sierra 2500 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 GMC Sierra 2500’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn GMC Sierra 2500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Sierra 2500? 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 the tires connect with the road how GMC intended.
  • When does GMC Sierra 2500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sierra 2500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 2500 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 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sierra 2500 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sierra 2500 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 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sierra 2500 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 travels over minor bumps.
