Does Your 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK550, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your CLK550 feels bouncy, pulls 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 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your CLK550 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz CLK550 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz CLK550

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your CLK550’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz CLK550 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK550’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2009 CLK550 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz CLK550? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 CLK550 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your CLK550’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz CLK550 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your CLK550 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 CLK550 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your CLK550 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 CLK550 shocks feel like? If your CLK550 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 CLK550 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
