Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. 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 GLC43 AMG get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

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 GLC43 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.

What can cause my Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG to have a bouncy ride?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GLC43 AMG to bounce more than usual.

Why does my GLC43 AMG front end dip forward when I brake?

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 do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG shocks?

Worn GLC43 AMG 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.

Does Your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your GLC43 AMG jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG in for suspension and steering service. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. 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 GLC43 AMG suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your GLC43 AMG’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMG suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
