Does Your 2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Yukon XL 1500 bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your GMC Yukon XL 1500 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 Yukon XL 1500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500 suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your GMC Yukon XL 1500 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Yukon XL 1500’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.

2006 Yukon XL 1500 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 Yukon XL 1500? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how GMC intended.
  • When should I have my GMC Yukon XL 1500 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my GMC Yukon XL 1500 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Yukon XL 1500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Yukon XL 1500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Yukon XL 1500 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 are the signs that the shocks on my GMC Yukon XL 1500 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Yukon XL 1500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Yukon XL 1500 travels over minor bumps.
