When To Get 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your GLA250 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz GLA250 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.

Mercedes-Benz GLA250 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz GLA250 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your GLA250’s 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.

Questions About 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GLA250's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz GLA250? 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 the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz GLA250 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 GLA250’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz GLA250 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your GLA250 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 GLA250's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your GLA250 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 do worn Mercedes-Benz GLA250 shocks feel like? Worn GLA250 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.
