Is It Time For 2018 GMC Terrain Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2018 GMC Terrain, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Terrain bounces, drifts 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 2018 GMC Terrain, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your GMC Terrain suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

GMC Terrain Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 GMC Terrain’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 GMC Terrain’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn GMC Terrain shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Terrain’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 2018 GMC Terrain 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 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. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how GMC intended.
  • When should I have my GMC Terrain power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Terrain’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my GMC Terrain bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Terrain to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Terrain front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Terrain when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn GMC Terrain shocks feel like? Worn Terrain 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.
