Suspension worn out on my 2011 Yukon Denali

[Denaliz]

Hey guys,

I've noticed my suspension doesn't seem to be as tight as it was a few years ago. The best way I can describe it is- I'm going 75-85 on the hwy and it feels loose on turns and seems to bounce around quite a bit on the road?

Any suggestions or direction on what to do?

I am not mechanically inclined much- air intakes and car audio are the extent of what I'm comfortable doing so if have to hire the work out.

Thanks in advance for any help!

first thing, is your air suspension working correctly?

Thought about upgrading sway bars?

Air suspension is perfect. It just doesn't feel as tight and maybe a little bouncy too? 2011 Yukon Denali with 83k- I am original owner.

I'm down with one of the performance/ cornering kits that Tony sells. I have no idea who I would take it to in The Dallas area? Anyone local with a good referral?

How would I confirm if air suspension is working correct? I thought I would hear it loudly going on and off repeatedly? That doesn't Happen?

I'd be fine replacing or upgrading whatever- just not sure where to have it looked at besides dealer? Would they charge me to look at it?

85k is a lot of miles on any shock. Replace with oem if you want denali ride. You may get a warning light when the fronts go, but a drastic reduction in ride quality is also a good indicator....

I would check the obvious stuff first such as:
1. Tires - low pressure / sidewall play can be a big factor as well
2. Check tires, if you notice uneven wearing / flat spots or feathering run your hand from front to back - should be smooth. Then run from Back to front if you feel a difference this is due to alignment, balljoints bad shock or some other factor.
3. Check the suspension bolts and make sure they have not come loose
4. Do you hear any squeaking, popping or clunking when turning, backing up and turning in reverse or hitting bumps?

Good luck!
