When To Get 2005 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2005 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your G55 AMG feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2005 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your G55 AMG 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 G55 AMG steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2005 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 G55 AMG Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 help you notice when you need 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.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your G55 AMG’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your G55 AMG to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my G55 AMG's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your G55 AMG feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your G55 AMG travels over minor bumps.
