Is It Time For 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Sierra 3500 HD feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Sierra 3500 HD suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Sierra 3500 HD steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your GMC Sierra 3500 HD

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 3500 HD’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn GMC Sierra 3500 HD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2008 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 3500 HD? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my GMC Sierra 3500 HD power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Sierra 3500 HD’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my GMC Sierra 3500 HD bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sierra 3500 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sierra 3500 HD to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sierra 3500 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 3500 HD shocks feel like? Worn Sierra 3500 HD shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sierra 3500 HD might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sierra 3500 HD shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
