Does Your 2021 Mercedes-Benz S500 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2021 Mercedes-Benz S500, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your S500 bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Mercedes-Benz S500 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 your S500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mercedes-Benz S500

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Mercedes-Benz S500 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mercedes-Benz up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2021 Mercedes-Benz S500 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mercedes-Benz S500 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Mercedes-Benz S500’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 S500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 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. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz S500 power steering fluid 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’ll follow Mercedes-Benz service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your S500 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mercedes-Benz S500 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your S500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your S500 travels over minor bumps.
