When To Get 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your S55 AMG feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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 S55 AMG

Your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your S55 AMG’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG suspension 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.

Questions About 2002 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 S55 AMG? 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 connect with the road how Mercedes-Benz intended.
  • When should I have my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your S55 AMG 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 S55 AMG bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your S55 AMG to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my S55 AMG to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your S55 AMG 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 S55 AMG shocks feel like? Worn S55 AMG shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your S55 AMG might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your S55 AMG shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
