Is It Time For 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your GLA250 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercedes-Benz GLA250’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz GLA250

Your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 getting your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, 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 checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 GLA250 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GLA250's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz GLA250? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz GLA250 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz GLA250 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GLA250 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my GLA250 tilt forward 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz GLA250 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GLA250 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GLA250 travels over minor bumps.
