Does Your 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Sierra 3500 HD feels bouncy, pulls 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 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Sierra 3500 HD steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 HD shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, 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 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.

2013 Sierra 3500 HD Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important 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 come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • 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 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? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sierra 3500 HD to bounce more than usual.
  • 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.
  • 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.
