When To Get 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS550, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your CLS550 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS550, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your CLS550 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mercedes-Benz CLS550’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 CLS550 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS550’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz CLS550 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Mercedes-Benz CLS550’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 CLS550 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my CLS550's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 CLS550? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz CLS550 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 can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz CLS550 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your CLS550 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my CLS550 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your CLS550 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz CLS550 need replacing? Worn CLS550 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
