When To Get 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS450, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your GLS450 feels bouncy, leans 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 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS450, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 GLS450 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS450’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS450’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz GLS450 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 suspension 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.

2017 GLS450 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 GLS450? 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.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your GLS450’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my GLS450 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your GLS450's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GLS450 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GLS450 travels over minor bumps.
