When To Get 2019 GMC Terrain Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2019 GMC Terrain, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Terrain bounces, 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 2019 GMC Terrain in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 parts of your GMC Terrain suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Terrain Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2019 GMC Terrain suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2019 GMC Terrain shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, 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 regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2019 Terrain Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my GMC's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my GMC Terrain? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • When does GMC Terrain power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Terrain’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • 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's nose dive down 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn GMC Terrain shocks? Worn Terrain shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Terrain might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Terrain shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
