Does Your 2008 GMC Yukon Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 GMC Yukon, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Yukon jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2008 GMC Yukon in for steering and suspension services. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Yukon steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

GMC Yukon Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 GMC Yukon suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2008 GMC Yukon shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your GMC Yukon shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 GMC Yukon suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2008 Yukon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Yukon's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my GMC Yukon? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my GMC Yukon 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’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per GMC's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my GMC Yukon bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your GMC Yukon might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Yukon tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my GMC Yukon are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Yukon feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Yukon travels over minor bumps.
