When To Get 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 300CE bounces, sways 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 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercedes-Benz 300CE’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz 300CE

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz 300CE shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 300CE Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz 300CE? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz 300CE power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 300CE’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz 300CE bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 300CE to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 300CE tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 300CE combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz 300CE shocks? If your 300CE shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your 300CE might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
