Does Your 2020 Mercedes-Benz S450 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2020 Mercedes-Benz S450, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your S450 jolts, sways 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 2020 Mercedes-Benz S450 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your S450 suspension system needs repair, 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 S450 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mercedes-Benz S450 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 Mercedes-Benz S450 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your S450’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz S450 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2020 Mercedes-Benz S450’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 S450 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S450's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 S450? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz S450 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your S450’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz S450 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your S450 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my S450 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your S450 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 S450 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S450 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S450 travels over minor bumps.
