When should I come in for Mercedes-Benz S350 differential service?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your S350, but it's important to resist the urge.

1994 Mercedes-Benz S350 Drivetrain Service

Your S350 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your S350 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1994 Mercedes-Benz S350, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations.

When to Get Mercedes-Benz S350 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1994 Mercedes-Benz S350 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your S350 might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Mercedes-Benz S350 doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1994 Mercedes-Benz S350 drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
