When To Get 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your S500 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mercedes-Benz S500’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz S500

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz S500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my S500's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 should my Mercedes-Benz S500 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz S500 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 S500 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz S500 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S500 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 S500 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your S500'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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz S500 shocks? Worn S500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your S500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your S500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
