When To Get 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190E Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190E, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 190E feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190E in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, 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 190E suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz 190E suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz 190E

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190E suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190E’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz 190E shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190E’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1984 Mercedes-Benz 190E Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 should my Mercedes-Benz 190E get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz 190E power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 190E’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz 190E bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 190E to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 190E tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 190E's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz 190E shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 190E feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 190E travels over minor bumps.
