When To Get 2002 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2002 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your ML55 AMG jolts, 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 2002 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG 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.

Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2002 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG’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.

2002 ML55 AMG Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG 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 ML55 AMG is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your ML55 AMG 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 ML55 AMG front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG are bad? Worn ML55 AMG shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your ML55 AMG might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your ML55 AMG shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
