When To Get 1992 GMC Sonoma Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1992 GMC Sonoma, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Sonoma jolts, leans 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 1992 GMC Sonoma 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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Sonoma steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

GMC Sonoma Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1992 GMC Sonoma’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 1992 GMC Sonoma shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your GMC Sonoma shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1992 GMC Sonoma suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1992 Sonoma 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Sonoma? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my GMC Sonoma power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sonoma is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my GMC Sonoma to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sonoma to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Sonoma to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Sonoma 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 Sonoma need replacing? Worn Sonoma shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
