Does Your 1993 GMC Sonoma Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1993 GMC Sonoma, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Sonoma jolts, drifts 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 1993 GMC Sonoma in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Sonoma suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Sonoma 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your GMC Sonoma

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 GMC Sonoma’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 1993 GMC Sonoma shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your GMC Sonoma shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1993 GMC Sonoma’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1993 Sonoma Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sonoma's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 Sonoma get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how GMC intended.
  • When should I have my GMC Sonoma power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Sonoma’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations 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.
  • Why does my Sonoma tilt forward when I hit 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 do worn GMC Sonoma shocks feel like? Worn Sonoma shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Sonoma might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Sonoma shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
