Does Your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2021 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, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your GLS450 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 GLS450 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS450’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz GLS450 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your GLS450’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 GLS450 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GLS450's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 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 GLS450’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GLS450 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my GLS450's nose dive down 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 GLS450 need replacing? If your GLS450 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your GLS450 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
