When To Get 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your CLK55 AMG bounces, pulls 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 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG 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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 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 rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2003 CLK55 AMG 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your CLK55 AMG is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your CLK55 AMG 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 CLK55 AMG front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your CLK55 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 do worn Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG shocks feel like? 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.
