When To Get 2016 GMC Terrain Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2016 GMC Terrain, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Terrain feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2016 GMC Terrain, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Terrain suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your GMC Terrain’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your GMC Terrain

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 GMC Terrain suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Terrain’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your GMC Terrain shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 GMC Terrain’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2016 GMC Terrain Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my GMC Terrain 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. 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 Terrain power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Terrain is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my GMC Terrain bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your GMC Terrain 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 Terrain tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Terrain 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 Terrain need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Terrain feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Terrain travels over minor bumps.
