Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sierra 3500 HD's steering and 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.

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. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all 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?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Sierra 3500 HD is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my GMC Sierra 3500 HD bouncing excessively?

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.

What can cause the front end of my Sierra 3500 HD to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sierra 3500 HD combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.

What are the signs that the shocks on my GMC Sierra 3500 HD need replacing?

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.

When you first drove your 2024 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 problems is a good time to bring your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, 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 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 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out.

But there's no set schedule for 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 HD shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn GMC Sierra 3500 HD shocks and struts.

Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
