Is It Time For 1990 GMC V1500 Suburban Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1990 GMC V1500 Suburban, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your V1500 Suburban bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1990 GMC V1500 Suburban in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your V1500 Suburban 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 your V1500 Suburban steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

GMC V1500 Suburban Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 GMC V1500 Suburban’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1990 GMC V1500 Suburban’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your GMC V1500 Suburban shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your V1500 Suburban’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1990 GMC V1500 Suburban 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 alert you to the need for 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 V1500 Suburban? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my GMC V1500 Suburban power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your V1500 Suburban is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my GMC V1500 Suburban bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your V1500 Suburban to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my V1500 Suburban tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your V1500 Suburban 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 V1500 Suburban shocks feel like? Worn V1500 Suburban shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your V1500 Suburban might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your V1500 Suburban shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
