Is It Time For 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Sierra 3500 HD feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 HD in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil 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 your Sierra 3500 HD suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your GMC Sierra 3500 HD’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 HD’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 HD shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators 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. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2021 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 alert you to the need for 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. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all 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? 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 follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my GMC Sierra 3500 HD bounce 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.
  • 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my GMC Sierra 3500 HD need replacing? 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.
