Does Your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 350SDL jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 350SDL suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz 350SDL suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz 350SDL Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 350SDL’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz 350SDL shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1991 Mercedes-Benz 350SDL Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 350SDL? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 350SDL power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz 350SDL to have a bouncy ride? 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 350SDL's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 350SDL'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 350SDL shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 350SDL feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 350SDL travels over minor bumps.
