How to Keep Your Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 Shock Absorbers and Strut Assembly in Top Condition
As a heavy-duty SUV, your Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 is equipped with a durable suspension system. This system includes the shock absorbers and strut assembly, which is very essential in resisting road impacts and vibrations. Your shock absorbers prove their significance especially on rough roads, as they regulate the bouncing movement of your vehicle as much as possible. Hence, the Chevy Avalanche 1500 shock absorbers and strut assembly gives you a safe and comfortable drive by dampening the impacts of road irregularities so you don't have to literally bounce inside the vehicle as your tires negotiate with potholes and uneven terrain. Because of this task, you need to keep your shocks and struts in their top condition. By following these easy tips, you can ensure that your shock absorbers and struts are working well:
- Do a bounce test once in a while.
The best way to keep your shocks and struts working well is to deal with any irregularity early on. It's easy to find out if they are acting up—just do a bounce test. Such test involves pushing down one corner of your ride and quickly releasing it. If the shock absorber in a certain corner is still good, that area will rebound slowly and will not bounce more than twice. If what happens is the otherwise, then you should check your suspension system the soonest, so you'll know the right way to fix it.
- Do not overload your Avalanche.
Don't get carried away when packing your truck for a road trip. Even if it seems like all your cargo can still fit on the truck bed and the roof rack, you have to be mindful of your ride's maximum capacity. Overloading your truck can put the suspension system under stress, and doing so frequently can push the system to its weakest point, making it give up. If you want your Avalanche to continue giving you a comfortable drive, always keep tabs on the weight of the cargo you put on it. Your truck's maximum capacity can be found in the owner's manual or in the sticker that can be found on the panel of the driver's side door.
The struts and shock absorbers are parts of your Chevrolet Avalance 1500 suspension system. Shock absorbers reduce or dampen the road vibrations especially when passing through a rough terrain. They contain hydraulic fluid that serves as regulators to prevent your vehicle from bouncing or vibrating too much. On the other hand, your struts function by supporting the weight of your vehicle in any driving condition. Without the Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 shock absorbers and strut assembly, your suspension system will not be able to function well. You should always inspect this assembly because it also wears out over time. If you observe some problems associated with your suspension system, you should diagnose these right away. Here are the common symptoms of malfunctioning struts and shock absorbers:
Unsteady and bouncing movement
When you are driving over bumps and you feel that your Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 is bouncing or moving unsteadily, that is an indication of a problem with your struts or shock absorbers. This symptom commonly arises after the vehicle hit a major pothole or got involved in a road collision, which causes your struts and shock absorbers to be bent and deformed. When you encounter such, it is best to check your strut and shock absorbers by doing a bounce test. This is done by pushing down each corner of the vehicle and quickly releasing it. If one corner of the vehicle continues to bounce more than twice, then the shock absorber on that side has gone bad.
Knocking sound from the suspension system
Aside from bouncing, if your vehicle produces a sound that is similar to knocking or tapping, there might be a problem with your struts and shock absorbers. In this case, you have to visually check if these components are loose. If they are, that means that they have already seen better days and must be replaced the soonest to avoid causing accident.
Leaking components
The shock absorbers have internal chambers that are working to regulate the flow of the hydraulic fluid. Each chamber has seals that helps avoid fluid leaks. Also, these shock absorbers have springs that help your vehicle absorb the impacts from collisions. These springs are lubricated with oil to keep them functioning. However, the said channels, seals, and springs are also prone to wearing out. And when this happens, the fluid inside will start to leak. You can confirm this by doing a thorough visual inspection. If you see that your struts and shock absorbers are leaking, they should be replaced before they stop working.
