Is It Time For 2014 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2014 GMC Yukon XL 1500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Yukon XL 1500 bounces, sways 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 2014 GMC Yukon XL 1500 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your GMC Yukon XL 1500’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your GMC Yukon XL 1500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 GMC Yukon XL 1500’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2014 GMC Yukon XL 1500 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn GMC Yukon XL 1500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 GMC Yukon XL 1500 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2014 Yukon XL 1500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Yukon XL 1500's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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.
  • Does my GMC Yukon XL 1500 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Yukon XL 1500’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow GMC service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn GMC Yukon XL 1500 shocks? Worn Yukon XL 1500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Yukon XL 1500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Yukon XL 1500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
