When To Get 2002 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2002 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your CL55 AMG feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2002 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2002 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 getting your 2002 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2002 CL55 AMG Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 alert you to the need for new 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 CL55 AMG? 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 connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG 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 CL55 AMG’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG 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 CL55 AMG to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my CL55 AMG to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your CL55 AMG 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG need replacing? Worn CL55 AMG shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
