GMC Shock & Strut FAQ
1. How often should GMC truck shocks and struts be replaced?
Most GMC trucks need shocks or struts every 80,000–100,000 km, depending on driving conditions, towing, and load usage. Heavy-duty trucks may require earlier replacement.
2. What are the symptoms of worn shocks or struts on a GMC Sierra or Yukon?
Common signs include bouncing, clunking noises, poor stability, uneven tire wear, and longer stopping distances.
3. Do shocks and struts affect towing performance?
Yes. Worn shocks reduce control when hauling or towing, causing sway, squat, and instability. Replacing them improves safety and handling.
4. Should I get a wheel alignment after replacing shocks or struts?
Yes. GMC suspension geometry changes during replacement. An alignment ensures proper tire wear and stable steering.
5. How long does GMC shock or strut replacement take?
Most replacements take 1–3 hours, depending on model design, rust, and whether alignment is required.
