When To Get 1994 Mercedes-Benz S420 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1994 Mercedes-Benz S420, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your S420 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1994 Mercedes-Benz S420 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your S420 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 S420 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1994 Mercedes-Benz S420’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1994 Mercedes-Benz S420 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mercedes-Benz S420 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your S420’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1994 Mercedes-Benz S420 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 S420? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz S420 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Mercedes-Benz S420 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 S420 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my S420 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your S420 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Mercedes-Benz S420 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S420 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S420 travels over minor bumps.
