When To Get 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your CLK350 bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system 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 power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 CLK350 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 CLK350 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz CLK350 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK350’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2007 CLK350 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz CLK350 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 CLK350 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 CLK350’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz CLK350 bouncing excessively? 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 CLK350's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your CLK350 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz CLK350 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your CLK350 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your CLK350 travels over minor bumps.
