Does Your 2006 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your S55 AMG feels bouncy, leans 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 2006 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your S55 AMG suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your S55 AMG 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.

Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG suspension system. 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 2006 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2006 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG’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.

2006 S55 AMG Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mercedes-Benz's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG power steering fluid need to be 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 top it off per Mercedes-Benz's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your S55 AMG 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 S55 AMG front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your S55 AMG'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 can I tell if the shocks on my Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG are bad? If your S55 AMG shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your S55 AMG might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
