Is It Time For 2009 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2009 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your G55 AMG feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2009 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mercedes-Benz G55 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2009 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2009 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 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 does my Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG 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 G55 AMG to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my G55 AMG's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your G55 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG need replacing? Worn G55 AMG shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your G55 AMG might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your G55 AMG shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
