Is It Time For 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Sierra 3500 HD bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 3500 HD suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

GMC Sierra 3500 HD Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn GMC Sierra 3500 HD shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD suspension 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.

2020 Sierra 3500 HD Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my GMC's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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 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. 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 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 your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my GMC Sierra 3500 HD bouncing excessively? 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? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn GMC Sierra 3500 HD shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Sierra 3500 HD feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Sierra 3500 HD travels over minor bumps.
