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 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Terrain?

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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

Does my GMC Terrain power steering fluid need to be checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Terrain is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my GMC Terrain bouncing so much?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

What can cause the front end of my Terrain to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Terrain's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.

How can I tell if the shocks on my GMC Terrain are bad?

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.

Does Your 2024 GMC Terrain Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2024 GMC Terrain, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Terrain feels bouncy, drifts 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 2024 GMC Terrain in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Terrain suspension system needs repair, 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Terrain’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your GMC Terrain shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 GMC Terrain suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
