Is It Time For 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML430 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML430, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your ML430 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML430 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 ML430 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 ML430 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML430 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 ML430 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz ML430 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML430 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1999 Mercedes-Benz ML430 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ML430's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz ML430 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz ML430 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 ML430 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz ML430 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your ML430 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my ML430 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your ML430 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 do worn Mercedes-Benz ML430 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your ML430 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your ML430 travels over minor bumps.
