Is It Time For 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML320 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML320, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. 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 trouble is the best time to bring your 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML320 in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz ML320 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz ML320 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML320’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML320 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz ML320 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your ML320’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 ML320 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ML320's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 should my Mercedes-Benz ML320 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz ML320 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 ML320’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mercedes-Benz ML320 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mercedes-Benz ML320 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my ML320 to dip forward when I apply 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 do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz ML320 shocks? Worn ML320 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your ML320 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your ML320 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
