Does Your 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK320, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your CLK320 feels bouncy, sways 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 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your CLK320 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK320’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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK320’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz CLK320 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 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 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.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz CLK320 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 CLK320 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz CLK320 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 CLK320 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my CLK320 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your CLK320 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 do worn Mercedes-Benz CLK320 shocks feel like? If your CLK320 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 CLK320 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
