Which GMC Parts Wear Out the Fastest?

Given enough time and miles, even authentic GMC parts can wear out. But fear not, for the mechanical experts at Zeigler Buick GMC of Lincolnwood can clue you in on which of your vehicle’s parts need to be replaced before they cause an issue.

Tires

Unsurprisingly, tires rank high on this list. For every freshly paved highway you drive on, there are just as many run-down side streets or gravel roads, and your tires take the full brunt of that.

Tires should be replaced when the tread has worn down to 2/32” at the latest, preferably sooner. You can always measure this with the Lincoln’s head test using a penny, but a much more reliable way is to bring your vehicle in for a multipoint inspection, where a certified technician can tell you the exact status of your tires’ wear.

Brakes

Your brakes are a complex system, and every part of that system is prone to wear. The brake pads typically wear out the fastest, needing to be replaced every three to five years, but factors such as extensive stop-and-go traffic can cause them to wear out faster.

Brake rotors also experience sustained wear, and if they wear down too much, you risk brake failure. If you’re noticing anything out of the ordinary, such as squealing, grinding, vibrating, or a pulsing feeling from the brake pedal, it may indicate that you’re in need of brake repair.

Wiper Blades

Wiper blades always get a good workout in nefarious Illinois winters, so they usually need to be replaced once every year. Luckily, this is a relatively cheap replacement, and you can even take this opportunity to have your vehicle inspected to see if you’ll need other repairs in the near future.
