Does Your 2016 GMC Yukon XL Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2016 GMC Yukon XL, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Yukon XL bounces, sways 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 2016 GMC Yukon XL 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Yukon XL suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your GMC Yukon XL 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 Yukon XL Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 GMC Yukon XL suspension system. 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 2016 GMC Yukon XL’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn GMC Yukon XL shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 GMC Yukon XL suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2016 Yukon XL Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 Yukon XL? 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 Yukon XL power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my GMC Yukon XL 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 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Yukon XL front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Yukon XL 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn GMC Yukon XL shocks? Worn Yukon XL shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Yukon XL might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Yukon XL shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
