Is It Time For 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML450 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML450, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your ML450 jolts, 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 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML450 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your ML450 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 ML450 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz ML450 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML450’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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML450’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 could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz ML450 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML450’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 ML450 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ML450's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mercedes-Benz ML450? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz ML450 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz ML450 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your ML450 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 ML450's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your ML450'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz ML450 need replacing? Worn ML450 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your ML450 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your ML450 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
