When To Get 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS450, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your GLS450 bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, 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 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 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 GLS450

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 getting your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS450’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz GLS450 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2024 GLS450 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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 connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • 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’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your GLS450 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my GLS450's nose dive down when I hit 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 do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz GLS450 shocks? 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.
