When To Get 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 560SEC feels bouncy, leans 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 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 560SEC 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 your 560SEC steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz 560SEC Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 560SEC’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz 560SEC shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 560SEC's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz 560SEC? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz 560SEC power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 560SEC is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz 560SEC bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 560SEC goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my 560SEC tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 560SEC 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 560SEC shocks? Worn 560SEC shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 560SEC might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 560SEC shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
