Does Your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 260E Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 260E, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 260E bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 260E, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 260E suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mercedes-Benz 260E’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz 260E Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 260E suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 1987 Mercedes-Benz 260E shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz 260E shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1987 Mercedes-Benz 260E’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1987 Mercedes-Benz 260E Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercedes-Benz 260E? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz 260E power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 260E is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz 260E bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my 260E's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 260E'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.
  • What do worn Mercedes-Benz 260E shocks feel like? Worn 260E shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 260E might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 260E shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
