When To Get 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE550e Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE550e, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your GLE550e feels bouncy, 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 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE550e, bring it 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your GLE550e suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mercedes-Benz GLE550e’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz GLE550e Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE550e’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE550e shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz GLE550e shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your GLE550e’s 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.

2016 GLE550e Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GLE550e's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercedes-Benz GLE550e? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz GLE550e power steering fluid need to be 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 GLE550e bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GLE550e to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my GLE550e to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your GLE550e 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 GLE550e shocks feel like? Worn GLE550e shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your GLE550e might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your GLE550e shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
