Does Your 1999 GMC Yukon Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1999 GMC Yukon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Yukon bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 GMC Yukon, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 your GMC Yukon’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

GMC Yukon Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 GMC Yukon suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1999 GMC Yukon’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn GMC Yukon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 GMC Yukon’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1999 GMC Yukon Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my GMC's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my GMC Yukon power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Yukon’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my GMC Yukon bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Yukon to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Yukon to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Yukon 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 need replacing? Worn Yukon shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Yukon might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Yukon shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
