Does Your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG, 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 CLK55 AMG feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG in for steering and suspension services. 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 absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your CLK55 AMG 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 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 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 CLK55 AMG Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your CLK55 AMG’s shocks and struts 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 CLK55 AMG shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG suspension 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.

Questions About 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my CLK55 AMG's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your CLK55 AMG is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my CLK55 AMG to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your CLK55 AMG 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 CLK55 AMG are bad? Worn CLK55 AMG shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your CLK55 AMG might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your CLK55 AMG shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
