When To Get 2018 GMC Yukon Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2018 GMC Yukon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Yukon jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2018 GMC Yukon, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your GMC Yukon 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 GMC Yukon’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your GMC up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Yukon’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn GMC Yukon shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 GMC Yukon’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 Yukon Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how GMC intended.
  • When does GMC Yukon 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 Yukon is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per GMC's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • 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.
  • Why does my Yukon tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Yukon 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 shocks? 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.
