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 alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Why should my Mercedes-Benz CL550 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.

When does Mercedes-Benz CL550 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz CL550 bouncing so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your CL550 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 CL550 front end dip forward when I brake?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your CL550'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz CL550 need replacing?

If your CL550 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 CL550 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
