Does Your 2004 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2004 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your S55 AMG bounces, pulls 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 2004 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG 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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2004 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. 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 2004 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2004 S55 AMG Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • When does Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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 can fill it per Mercedes-Benz's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my S55 AMG tilt forward when I hit 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG are bad? Worn S55 AMG shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
