When To Get 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Metris feels bouncy, 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 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Metris suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz Metris suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz Metris Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 Metris’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz Metris shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Metris’s 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 Metris Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercedes-Benz Metris? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz Metris power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Metris is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz Metris bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Mercedes-Benz Metris 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 Metris tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Metris 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz Metris shocks? If your Metris 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 Metris might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
