Is It Time For 1990 GMC V2500 Suburban Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1990 GMC V2500 Suburban, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your V2500 Suburban feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1990 GMC V2500 Suburban, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your GMC V2500 Suburban’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

GMC V2500 Suburban Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1990 GMC V2500 Suburban’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 getting your 1990 GMC V2500 Suburban’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your GMC V2500 Suburban shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your V2500 Suburban’s 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.

1990 V2500 Suburban Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 V2500 Suburban? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way GMC intended.
  • When does GMC V2500 Suburban power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your V2500 Suburban is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my GMC V2500 Suburban bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your V2500 Suburban goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my V2500 Suburban front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your V2500 Suburban 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 V2500 Suburban shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your V2500 Suburban feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your V2500 Suburban travels over minor bumps.
