Does Your 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML320 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML320, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your ML320 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML320, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. 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 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 ML320

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML320 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2008 Mercedes-Benz ML320 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, 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. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 ML320 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ML320's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • 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. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz ML320 power steering fluid 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 your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz ML320 bouncing excessively? 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.
  • Why does my ML320 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your ML320 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz ML320 need replacing? 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.
