Is It Time For 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sierra 3500 HD bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Sierra 3500 HD suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn GMC Sierra 3500 HD shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Sierra 3500 HD’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2009 Sierra 3500 HD Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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 3500 HD get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does GMC Sierra 3500 HD 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 3500 HD bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • 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 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.
