Does Your 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your ML320 jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320 in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your ML320 suspension system needs repair, 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 ML320 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz ML320

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz ML320 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Mercedes-Benz ML320’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

1998 ML320 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz ML320? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz ML320 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your ML320 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz ML320 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your ML320 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 ML320 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your ML320'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 ML320 are bad? If your ML320 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 ML320 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
