Does Your 2010 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2010 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sierra 3500 HD bounces, 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 2010 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, bring it 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2010 GMC Sierra 3500 HD’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 GMC Sierra 3500 HD’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn GMC Sierra 3500 HD shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 GMC Sierra 3500 HD’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 Sierra 3500 HD Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sierra 3500 HD's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Sierra 3500 HD? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 should I have my GMC Sierra 3500 HD power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Sierra 3500 HD’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my GMC Sierra 3500 HD bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your GMC Sierra 3500 HD might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Sierra 3500 HD's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my GMC Sierra 3500 HD are bad? 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.
