When To Get 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE300d Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE300d, 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. Maybe your GLE300d jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE300d, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your GLE300d suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Mercedes-Benz GLE300d’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 GLE300d

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE300d’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your GLE300d’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz GLE300d shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE300d suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2016 GLE300d Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GLE300d's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 GLE300d? 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 the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz GLE300d power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your GLE300d’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz GLE300d to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mercedes-Benz GLE300d might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my GLE300d front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your GLE300d 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz GLE300d are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GLE300d feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GLE300d travels over minor bumps.
